Aboriginal Learning Overview

As visitors, we give thanks to the Coast Salish people for allowing us to live and work within their traditional territories.

 

Literacy Victoria provides free adult literacy programming within First Nations communities across southern Vancouver Island.

 

We have two main Aboriginal programs: the Aboriginal Tutor Training program and the Aboriginal Literacy and Essential Skills pilot program.  These learner-centered programs utilize the approach and philosophy of other Literacy Victoria programs, yet also reflect and respect Aboriginal resources and ways of knowing.

 

The Aboriginal Tutor Training program gives volunteer tutors the skills they need to support the learning goals of Aboriginal learners in First Nations communities. An Aboriginal tutor trainer facilitates the training, and uses a train-the-trainer approach to build community capacity on each reserve.

The Aboriginal Literacy and Essential Skills pilot program is  a 36 month, community-based project is to help First Nations adults with low literacy levels, living on reserve on southern Vancouver Island, build the literacy and essential skills they need to effectively contribute to their communities.
