Community Adult Learning Councils address the part-time, non-credit learning needs of adults within specified geographic boundaries.  These unique councils consist of representatives of the local community who work together to meet the program goals:

• To improve the accessibility of learning opportunities in Alberta's communities, especially for those individuals with special needs or barriers to learning.
• To provide opportunities for Albertans to acquire important foundational skills such as literacy and English as a Second Language.
• To address education, training and learning gaps in Alberta's communities.
• To mobilize community volunteers and other resources in support of learning.
• To contribute to solving individual and community problems through learning initiatives, in coordination and cooperation with related organizations.
