Frank Laubach - "Each One, Teach One"

Laubach Literacy of Canada is a community-based volunteer literacy organization that follows in the tradition of world-recognized literacy pioneer, Frank C. Laubach. In 1930, he organized a method of teaching adults to read and write in their own language. This method is now used in more than 300 countries.

The first Laubach tutor training workshop in Canada was held in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia in 1970. Laubach Literacy of Canada was incorporated as a non-profit, charitable organization in 1981. Youth and adults together are becoming readers through the "Each One Teach One" program. Recent statistics show that there are 9,600 trained tutors, 8,300 students and 155 literacy councils in Canada.
