Coming Events

Frontier College Students for Literacy Tutor training workshop at the University of Winnipeg the weekend of November 7 and 8… so far we have a number of university students, and I am inviting some of our community partners … folks who will be welcoming our volunteer tutors so its’ good if they are familiar with our tutoring techniques…
If you get any calls from people wanting to get involved, please feel free to pass them on to us… if you think they’d like to work at our afterschool kids or teen programs. They are combination of reading circles (helping kids with their reading) and homework clubs… where kids bring their school work, and our volunteers assist or encourage them.
