Millions of Canadian children and youth desperately struggle to become literate. They struggle in silence, feeling confused and ashamed about being unable to learn, unable to understand instructions, and unable to do homework. As these children grow up, their low literacy skills will further hinder them in learning and understanding information essential to daily life. Information that could lead to opportunities, help them develop confidence and live productive, safe and healthy lives. Imagine the consequences of people with low literacy levels trying to understand employment ads, complete job applications, decipher rent agreements, complete medical consent forms, read transit schedules, follow their doctors’ directions, understand dangerous medication interactions, or figure out product label instructions. These are just a few examples of the types of literacy struggles many of your fellow Canadians face on a daily basis. But that’s life—and unfortunately that’s life for 42% of Canadians!
If you believe that every Canadian child deserves the right to learn how to read and write and you want to help plant the root of literacy in a community ready for growth and change, please take this opportunity to sponsor a Sage Youth program. Sage Youth’s literacy and mentoring programs in Ottawa support children and youth from low-income, new Canadian, homeless and special needs communities. We serve over 350 children a year at a shelter for homeless refugees, a community centre, a drop-in for homeless youth and a high school for children with special needs.
