Lindsay's story

Lindsay from Sorell tells us why he volunteers as an adult literacy tutor.

“Participating in the Adult Literacy Tutor Program helps me keep my mind active, alert and focused in my retirement. I enjoy helping people and watching them improve through their tutoring sessions. I also enjoy my students company.”

The benefits and joy for all of training in the workplace

"It changes their world. It takes people from 'oh this is as good as it gets,' to 'well maybe I could do something more than this.' And that's magic. So if your organisation has any possibility of getting a 26Ten project, run with it."

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
