One learner’s story

Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy ‘invaluable’ for learners

By Rod

I believe the Cariboo Literacy’s Outreach program is invaluable for many who “just need a little support” in order to move forward in their lives.

They are very reassuring, knowledgeable and easy to work with and have always made me feel in control of my goals and supportive of my ability to complete tasks. The worker’s manner and encouragement kept me focussed on the positive aspects and helped me write my personal statement to complete my Persons with Disabilities application.

Having my disability application approved has made such a difference in my life. It allowed me to get caught up on my rent and has increased my confidence and my sense of self.

Being able to complete my application (and have it approved) has made me feel that life is worth carrying on.
