Logo for Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust

Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust was established for teenagers and adults all across New Zealand, but with a particular focus on those that live in rural areas, are isolated or don’t have access to a Literacy centre.
We provide free 1:1 support with reading and writing that is flexible and can be done online via Zoom or Google Meet. Trained volunteers work with students 1-3 times a week to help them improve their literacy skills.
