Program Testimonials

“I came to LAMP with no computer skills. The staff treats us with respect. The learning sessions are effective. I can now use the internet and I email for job search!”

“I’m in such a beautiful place now- the Adult Learning Program supported my goals to further education and improving my reading and critical writing skills. I am signing up for a creative writing course at a local college.”

“A good foundation in reading and writing is, of course, an achievement of learners in the program. Even more important, I think, is the growth in confidence in their abilities to participate in the community and navigate their way through day to day demands of society…getting a job, supporting/encouraging their children’s education, managing their families’ needs, dealing with gov’t/official forms and even being aware of/enjoying the benefits of living in a city like Toronto.”
