About LEADR
Learning Essentials for Adults in Durham Region (LEADR) is a charitable, non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to providing one-to-one tutoring in the Durham Region. Guided by a learner-centred approach, volunteer tutors and staff members identify individual learner needs and design learning activities to help meet goals related to independence, employment, or further education/training. LEADR (formerly known as Literacy Council of Durham Region) has been in operation since 1980 and provides an essential service within the region, with the International Adult Literacy Survey indicating that 1 out of 5 adults in the Durham Region need help with reading and writing.
Since 2005 the Council has worked with thousands of learners and delivered 75000 hours of direct literacy instruction. Without the generous support of funders and volunteers, the Council would not be able to help adult learners reach their goals and enrich their lives.
