Second Chances

Ashley Rinder created this story as part of the SharedTime Initiative. The project is a collaboration between Volunteer Toronto and the Centre for Digital Storytelling. Alexandra Park Neighbourhood Learning Centre is a non-profit, community-based organization that offers adult literacy programs. Since 1985, APNLC has contributed to community building by offering learners the opportunity to develop important skills while becoming part of a unique community. 

APNLC offers a variety of free, learner-centered programs that range from Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) to Academic and Career Entrance (ACE). These programs assist students, four days a week, to upgrade their skills and ultimately use those skills to apply for entry to colleges, universities or apprenticeship programs. We also offer one-to-one tutoring for individuals who wish to improve their literacy skills through individualized learning sessions. To learn more go to: www.aplnc.org
