Want to help Families to gain ways to prepare for their child’s school success and increase literacy activities at home? Be a volunteer in our Family Literacy Program. Volunteers play an important role in encouraging and helping families with literacy activities to support children’s emerging literacy development. Our programs also build community connections and community involvement.

Family Literacy programs are from 4 – 12 weeks in length and although it is great to have a volunteer for the full program length, we are flexible, and volunteers can commit to the programs, dates, and times that work best for them. Ideally when volunteers can commit to at least 3-4 weeks of a program, parents and children can build a relationship and trust. We also have Family Literacy events that only require a single-day commitment for 2-3 hours. 
We provide full training and support for our volunteers and although our focus is learning, we have a big focus on playing and having fun. These programs typically run at various schools, libraries, and community spaces in Saskatoon and surrounding area (Warman & Martensville).
