This is a special project of Frontier College. Strong literacy skills are a predictor of success in school and in the workplace. Many Canadian youth (aged 16-24) who have dropped out of school have low literacy skills. Even if they wish to return to school, they have to overcome a number of barriers which contribute to their low-literacy skills in the first place.
This report presents the findings of an evaluation of a "cluster" of four projects aimed at assisting at-risk youth to return to learning after having not succeeded in the regular school system.
