Our current board is made up of former Literacy Alberni employees and contractors who have seen firsthand the difference this organization can make. We’re deeply committed to rebuilding trust, restoring services, and doing right by our community.

With a renewed sense of purpose and accountability, we’ve stepped up not just to preserve what Literacy Alberni was, but to help shape what it can become.
