What people say about us........

From our Learners:

   


"The program that I did at the centre really inspired me to go back to school. It’s been an amazing journey. Thanks for your patience and advice every time I came in to see you guys. I am happy that the centre was there to provide much needed services at a time when I needed it most."  (A)


"Niagara West Adult Learning Centre is a great place that offers different programs and gives adults the opportunity to learn important life skills like reading and writing.  I have been attending the one on one tutoring with Donna, and sometimes Jacky, to help me achieve my goals.  My goals are improving my reading, writing and vocabulary, with the hope of moving up in my career.  I have seen improvement and hope to grow and expand my knowledge as time goes by.  I want to say thank you to staff and volunteers that work alongside students to help them succeed in life.  I also hope that one day the reading and writing programs are offered to children."
