Where lifelong learning thrives.

The Yukon Literacy Coalition (YLC) is dedicated to providing free literacy and essential skills workshops and programs to children, parents, families, young adults, elders and newcomers throughout the Territory and across the North.

A river of possibility

Our new website is inspired by the great Yukon River. Just like water flows down a river, we believe everyone is on their own unique learning journey.
