SUMMARY:Lawyers For Literacy
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince 2011, The Law Society has supported the West Broadway Youth Outreach organization (WBYO) in a program to promote literacy and raise funds for the great work they do in our community. Over the past 15 plus years, Lawyers for Literacy has raised more than $100,000 with over 500 lawyers reading to the WBYO kids. There are many children who struggle every day to understand information written at even a basic level. Many kids do not have an adult at home who reads to them or encourages them to read by sharing with them the joy of reading. The Law Society is proud to sponsor this event and encourages lawyers to get involved by raising funds and/or donating their time to read with a child for an hour or more.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us In Person, Sign up to Volunteer\n\n\n\nThe Law Society of Manitoba is delighted to continue to support the West Broadway Youth Outreach (WBYO) and sponsor the 16th annual edition of Lawyers for Literacy.
