Help Those In Need

“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed.” 

[Proverbs 19:17]

To provide a safe, nurturing & secure environment, where youth can build strategies to improve their reading & writing skills and receive support with homework completion.

BrainiACTS is an affordable literacy and academic support program for children between grades 1-6. It is offered as a community outreach mission program on Tuesday afternoons from 3.30 p.m to 5.00 p.m.

 

The program aims to provide a safe, nurturing & secure environment, where youth can build strategies to improve their reading & writing skills and receive support with math and homework completion.

 

In the Fall of 2019, St. Andrew Anglican Church introduced BrainiACTS.  BrainiACTS is a once a week, after school club that offers individual or small-group assistance with reading/literacy skills and homework completion. 

​

Building relationships, increasing confidence and developing goal setting strategies will help your child become a life long learner!

​

It is projected that the number of adults with low-literacy skills in Canada will increase from 12.4 million in 2006 to 15 million in 2031. (www.sac-oac.ca)

 

Schools and teachers are continually being asked to do more with less funding and some families are stressed, both emotionally and financially.  As a result, some children may fall through the cracks and become part of the above statistic.

 

It has been said that literacy is an essential foundational skill in the 21st century.  Research has stated that people with low literacy skills have much lower employment rates which leads to an increased risk of poverty and the need for social assistance.  It is a reality that there is a negative impact on a person’s life who has low literacy skills, no matter what stage of life they are at – youth, adult or senior.  Connections between low literacy skills and crime have also been suggested.

 

During Grades one to three children are learning to read.  After Grade three, children transition to reading to learn.  BrainiACTS focuses on children to help them build the foundational skills they need to learn to read, so they can read to learn.

 

Does your child have difficulty reading or need additional support? Are you interested in accessing an affordable and creative option to support your child’s reading development?  Complete the online registration form to begin the process.

Change a life, become a volunteer tutor!

Volunteer adult and teenage tutors are needed to help this program continue to grow.  Give the gift of reading to a child within our community. 

Changing lives through literacy!  Literacy is a skill that enables you to read, write and use math in everyday life.

 

Our volunteers help young people develop their literacy skills through a guided program and fun activities, in a safe and nurturing environment.  Your help just may change the trajectory of a young person's life in a positive way.

 

This is an opportunity for you to make a positive impact in someone’s life, pouring the blessings of your life into ‘little lives’ and sharing from your experiences. As you connect and listen, you will help young people be better equipped to navigate through life and the issues they will face. 

 

When young people are able to solve their problems with reasonable success and feel increasingly confident in their own abilities to read and write, periods of struggle gradually become less frequent and less intense.

 

They begin to trust themselves and draw upon the solid resources and coping skills they have learned and nurtured within themselves.

 

Through your efforts, we continue to be the safety net. We continue to be the ‘village it takes to raise a child’.​
