Project READ Literacy Network was founded on September 7, 1988 by the literacy agencies in Waterloo Region. They wanted a central agency to share information, coordinate efforts and provide outreach. In 1995, Project READ extended its boundary to include Guelph-Wellington. Since its beginning, the network has been devoted to promoting literacy issues and programs to the community, bringing literacy practitioners together, and improving service delivery. This mandate of information and support remains the heart of the organization.

Project READ provides the following services to our members and the public:

• Assessment of an individual's education skills and referrals to programs
  
• Facilitation of service planning and production of an annual Literacy Service Planning Report
  
• Workplace Education consultations (on-site literacy training)
  
• ClearWrite Services
  
• Public Education and Literacy Statistics
  
• Professional Development workshops
  
• Literacy Library and an annual "Adult Upgrading in Waterloo-Wellington" Directory
  
• "Literacy is a Family Affair" workshops and "Let's Play Literacy" booklets

We work in collaboration with the local Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) agencies to develop training solutions to meet the literacy needs of our community. Local literacy agencies include:

• Action Read, Guelph
  
• Conestoga College, Cambridge, Guelph and Waterloo campuses
