Based in Williams Lake, PAL is a community partnership program designed to provide one-to-one adult literacy tutoring to the city and surrounding areas. PAL is located at the Williams Lake Campus of Thompson Rivers University and supports up to 20 adults, from non-readers to Grade 12 level, who have challenges with classroom, online courses, or with the literacy skills needed for everyday life. Scheduling is arranged to suit the learner and the tutoring focuses on their individual needs. Support is also available for those with ESL challenges.
