Original job description

Regional Program Coordinator, Letters Sounds and Words™ Program, Ontario East

Strong Start® is a Canadian charity changing children’s lives through literacy. For over 25 years, we’ve been helping young learners build the skills and confidence they need to become lifelong readers. Our programs are grounded in research, aligned with curricula, and delivered through powerful community partnerships with schools, educators, community hubs, families, and thousands of trained volunteers.

If you are an energetic, well-organized self-starter with a passion for early literacy and enjoy meeting new people, this opportunity could be for you. Strong Start is a registered charity that provides a unique, volunteer-delivered, community–based reading assistance program to children in the early grades of elementary school. In the role of Regional Program Coordinator for the Letters, Sounds and Words™ program you will coordinate the delivery and support the implementation and expansion of our well-established Letters, Sounds and Words program within the communities and schools in our Ontario East Region (including Addington, Frontenac, Hastings, Kawartha Lakes, Lennox, Northumberland, Ottawa, Peterborough, Prince Edward, Renfrew).
