Foundation Learning & Skills Saskatchewan

Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan (formerly READ Saskatoon) has a long history as a local literacy organization that offers free literacy services to adults, children, and families.

Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan’s Vision:
All Saskatchewan communities and individuals have equitable access to quality learning opportunities so everyone can fully participate and thrive.

Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan’s Mission:
We provide foundational literacy, learning, and skills development for adults, children, and families through the work of staff, trained volunteers, and community partners.

We are relentless in bringing our vision and mission to life because:

• Everyone has the right to learn, regardless of age.
• Strong literacy skills are not attained by chance.
• Communities have a right to responsive and effective literacy programs.
• Lifelong learning habits contribute to strong and resilient communities.

Our own cultural perspectives are limited and therefore we will not make assumptions about the experiences and cultural expressions of others.

Foundations works toward education equity with a commitment to Indigenous peoples through community literacy programming. We pay special attention to Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action 7, 10, and 12. Our work is guided by the needs of the community and engages volunteers.
