The program was developed in collaboration with Linda Jack of Eagle Feathers Literacy and is inspired by her advocacy. It was oriented towards Indigenous learners by incorporating Indigenous approaches to learning,  however  open to any adult learner who would like to benefit from group learning.

Special attention will be given to creating an environment that not only facilitates learning but that is safe, welcoming, and respectful of the learners who risk showing up. We envision an adult literacy program that feels more like sitting around the kitchen table working on our projects together, than a formal classroom. 

Central to our program development was creating a learning environment that facilitates individual learner goals with tutors on hand to assist. Learning outcomes must be driven by individual learner and group identified goals rather than those prescribed by an instructor in more institutional settings. Learners can begin at their own level and work according to their own pace. In short, our approach will be de-institutionalized and decolonized. This is program is now complete and was funded by the Peter Gzowski Foundation for Literacy.
