Our Mission
We engage adults to learn, dream, and grow — transforming lives and communities through education and connection.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone belongs, learns, and lives with dignity —supported by education, community, and the resources to lead prosperous and purposeful lives.
What We Do
We are building stronger communities by empowering adults in the Annapolis Valley to reach their full potential. Through our programs, we provide access to education and resources that help individuals thrive, improve their lives, and contribute meaningfully to their families and communities.
Our flexible approach includes in-person and online options, with daytime, evening, and one-to-one tutoring available. Whether balancing work, family, or personal commitments, our programs are designed to meet the needs of diverse learners.
Our Programs
Most of our programs are free and designed to support adults in developing essential skills, including literacy, numeracy, and life skills. We offer personalized learning options to help individuals achieve their goals — no matter where they are on their learning journey.
Our weekly Community Supper takes place on Tuesdays, from 5-6:30pm at the VCLA Community Hub at 118 Oakdene Avenue, Kentville, Nova Scotia – Join us for meals made with love and healthy ingredients!
