Want to be a part of  the Change? Wondering How to Get Involved?

If you are an individual who shares our united vision you can get involved by creating a local chapter of United4Literacy. A little of your time could make a lasting impact on the lives of countless children in your area!

Check out how you can open a local chapter in your community:

1. In your respective region, you can open a local chapter of united4literacy. This local chapter will be a “ground based” organization which will operate semi-independently to promote and spread literacy in any way possible. This local chapter can help to educate minority or illiterate children and then report their success stories back to us!
2. A possible way to educate children in this ground based approach is to gather a group of volunteers who are willing to donate only their time to help educate children. There are many benefits to donating time in such a way. The volunteer will gain experience working with children, volunteer work can be put on a resume, and volunteer work is essential to the applications for many universities and scholarships (ex. North American Universities, Rhodes Scholarships, etc…). These volunteers may commit time based on their schedule as long as it is consistent, for example one hour a week.
3. Choose any facility you feel appropriate. Possible solutions to the facility are:

• A school after school hours are over.
• A community centre
• A church, temple or other such institutions
• A home

As long as the facility is safe, it is up to you where you best feel studies can be conducted.

• Let the volunteers commit their time. Volunteers must stay at least 3 months to be formally acknowledged by us. Formal acknowledgement comes in form of a certificate of volunteer work provided by United4Literacy whenever they wish after a period of 3 months of volunteering. We will encourage volunteers to stay as long as they can since time volunteered will be written on the certificate.
• If you are interested in our plan, I would like to hear back from you and we can create a united4literacy chapter in your region with you as the leader! After a period of one year we plan to provide funds for books and supplies for the children. Until then there are many online resources available to be printed and I will specifically give them to you upon your response should be interested in our plan.
• Upon your response we can also provide promotional materials and letters to help in recruitment of volunteers and for facility. However, I leave it up to you to obtain facility and directly recruit volunteers.
• Please note: United4Literacy Canada reserves all rights. Local chapters will operate semi-independently, whereby they will still be liable to respond to me on matters of facility, finance, volunteers and work being done.
