739 families helped in 2021.
48% of Canadian adults have low literacy skills.
We're on a mission to change that.
Let us show you how.
Who we are
We believe that literacy and foundational learning affects all aspects of family and community life. We want to strengthen communities by removing barriers to access these opportunities by providing free programming. We want to see Canada as a literate and learning society.

Our commitment to Calgary
Further Education Society's programs are hosted throughout Calgary by our program partners and cover a variety of topics that improve literacy and essential skills for the vulnerable populations of Calgary.
Our Calgary Programs partner with over 35 community agencies to deliver 70 to 80 programs to approximately 876 Calgarian families each year.
'PATHWAYS' to meaningful
employment for Indigenous youth
Our 'Pathways' project brings together Indigenous youth and their communities, Elders, mentors, bridging organizations (those that provide job resource and skills training support) and employers to create new and innovative pathways to work in the Tourism and Government sectors.
