Support the work KL&S does in the community with a one time or monthly donation.
Why donate to KL&S?
Kingston Literacy & Skills is committed to changing lives through language and learning, but we can't do it without your support. While a significant portion of our budget comes from funding provided by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario, sometimes meeting individual needs of learners requires materials and resources simply not covered by our funders.
KL&S relies on private donations from generous community members like you in order to fill these funding gaps and allow us to deliver programming that is personalized, responsive, and truly transformative for each learner or family we support. Donor funding covers needs such as:
-
Food security and early literacy materials for the Care for Newcomer Children program
-
Transportation support and resources designed for persons with a disability to succeed in Literacy & Basic Skills training
-
Community-building workshops for newcomer women and seniors
-
Bursaries to help pay for First Aid/CPR certification for learners seeking employment in Childcare and Healthcare
-
Volunteer training and materials for more than 35 volunteers that provide weekly English language tutoring
