Our stories - the first 30 years, 1981-2011
 This year YLC celebrates 30 years of literacy. There have been many changes to the landscape in the past thirty years: the training of volunteers, tutoring materials, technology, office location, staff, funding, partnerships and projects. However, the most important things have not changed, and likely never will—the dedication and commitment of volunteers, and the Each One Teach One philosophy of tutoring. Have we made a difference? The statistics tell a grim story of the problem that continues to face more than 40% of Canadians; but if you ask any student whose life has been transformed by learning to read, you will hear a very different story—a story that speaks to the amazing power of how literacy changes lives, and how the support and encouragement of a literacy tutor makes a world of difference. I hope you will enjoy reading the stories in this 30th anniversary collection.
