Frontier College operates a variety of literacy programs in various Halifax and Dartmouth locations. We recruit, screen and train volunteers to tutor children, youth and adults in a variety of settings. We also help other community-based organizations set up and run literacy programs for their own participants. Frontier College is a volunteer-based organization and as such, we depend on our trained volunteers to help us reach those who are in need of our services.
