Kingston Literacy & Skills

Our offices remain closed due to Covid19 restrictions; HOWEVER, our programs are still open! Kingston Literacy & Skills staff are here to support you remotely. To get you started with us call or text our off-site number at 613-539-2452 and we will be pleased to assist you.

As a precaution for the safety of our students, volunteers, and staff with the current threat of Covid19; all programs of KL&S will be suspended for the period of March 17th - April 5th. Administration staff will remain onsite to answer any inquiries.

Kingston Literacy & Skills is thrilled to be the recipient of a $5,000.00 grant from the Youth Philanthropy Initiative Canada. This award is due to the amazing efforts of KCVI students, Eve Gilbert and Kevin Cao who completed a presentation on the importance of Adult Literacy.

The long weekend is the perfect time to pause, take a moment for yourself and read a great book! 📚
