Volunteers change lives

Each year, our volunteers give thousands of hours to tutoring math, reading, and writing; reading stories; helping with special events; and supporting our book donation program.

From helping children read a favourite book to supporting adults as they work to improve their skills, volunteers are key to creating a culture of literacy in Canada.
