Miramichi Literacy Council (MLC) - since 1978
​
  • MLC was formed with 23 Charter members in September, 1978
  • Has been providing one-to-one tutoring for more than 40 years. 
  • For the past 36 years, MLC has been holding  tutor training workshops and writing workshops
  • We partner with local libraries in celebration of International Literacy Day and Family Literacy Day Events
  • In 2006, MLC became a member of the Miramichi Partners in Literacy consisting of the Miramichi Literacy Council, New Brunswick Libraries, Horizon Health Network, Mango, Community Inclusion Network and School District 16. Together we stage community events to raise Literacy awareness in both official languages. 
  • MLC continues to look for new and innovative ways to engage new learners and erase that stigma that prevents adults from learning to read or improving their literacy skills.
Miramichi Literacy Council offers free and confidential one-to-one adult tutoring in literacy, numeracy and life skills. We also partner with local partners to provide Cooking to Learn, the International Literacy Luncheon and other programs in order to bring literacy to more people in our community. 
The Miramichi Literacy Council  is run by a board of volunteers including: 
  • Pat Hegan, President/Tutor-Student Coordinator 
  • Sonja Mahabir, Secretary/Treasurer
  • Charlotte Loggie, Cooking to Learn Program Coordinator
  • Maureen Connell
  • Juanita Hamilton
  • Carol Ann Hilchey
  • Mary King
Become a Volunteer

MLC is always looking for volunteers. Whether you want to become a tutor (training provided using the Laubach Method of one-to-one tutoring), help out with special events and fundraisers, join the board, or assist with administrative tasks (such as data entry, social media), we are sure we can offer you a worthwhile volunteer experience. Please note that tutor training is offered once or twice a year (depending on our learner requirements) and is offered through a combination of online training and one six-hour, in-person training session that is held on either a Saturday or Sunday.
