The Centre for Family Literacy’s mission is to build, develop, and improve literacy with families and communities.

The Centre for Family Literacy began as Prospects Literacy Association, in February 1980, when it was established as the first volunteer tutor program in Alberta. It had the primary goal of matching tutors with adults who needed help to develop reading, writing and math skills. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, adults were also able to participate in small group reading and writing workshops. These adult-oriented programs were the main focus of Prospects’ work for the first dozen years. In addition, Prospects supported the development of training for literacy practitioners and helped to set up a provincial professional development organization, the Literacy Coordinators of Alberta, in 1987.
