Learner facilitators are chosen by their schools and volunteer.
Learner facilitators train on how to assist young minds at our reading clubs. Through the learner facilitator program, we are enabling learner facilitators to develop leadership, creativity, self-growth, team work, literacy skills.
We have weekly reading club meetings on Saturday mornings during the school term at our literacy centre that is based at St Matthews High school in Keiskammahoek.
In 2017 we started monthly reading clubs at Xolani SSS for the children of Zwelistha at Xolani SSS.
Well done to all our learner facilitators of 2018 for completing training and wishing you well during your journey this year.
