The Program for Adult Learning is a group of adults working on improving reading, writing, basic math and English speaking skills in the Lac La Biche region.
We believe that learning is a partnership and work with learners to address their expressed needs by using the talents and skills present in the partnership.
Volunteer tutors and adult learners meet regularly for free individual sessions. Other learners join our free small group English conversation classes. Learning materials are loaned out and training is provided for the tutors.
The program also promotes adult and family literacy through awareness activities, workshops, and community literacy projects.
Our group is part of C.L.A.S.S. (Community Learning for Adult Students Society – Lac La Biche & District).
