Drayton Valley & District Community Learning Association: Community Learning Fund
Sometimes you just need a little help to get where you are going. In addition to the personalized support and mentoring we provide all of our learners, for any of our Foundational Learning programs in Adult Literacy, Numeracy, Digital Skills, ESL and Foundational Life Skills, we have access to an in-house fund for adults who are struggling financially and cannot afford the cost of learning with us. If you need these foundational programs to live and work but cannot afford the fees, please talk to one of our staff to inquire about having the fees reduced or waived (subject to approval). The process is confidential and without judgement.
