Literacy Northwest

At Literacy Northwest (LNW), we are the vital support organization for adult literacy and essential skills education across Northwestern Ontario. From our home base in Thunder Bay, we work with a network of 14 literacy agencies, from the Manitoba border to the north shore of Lake Superior, to ensure every adult has the opportunity to reach their full potential. What We Do: We provide crucial support, resources, and professional development to our network of agencies that offer free and confidential programs for adults looking to improve their skills. Why It Matters: When adults in our community gain essential skills, the ripple effect is profound. They secure better employment, improve their health outcomes, become more engaged citizens, and create stronger foundations for their families. We are not just teaching skills; we are building a more resilient and prosperous Northwestern Ontario. Get Involved & Join Our Mission: Potential Learners: It's never too late to learn.
