The Centre of Learning & Development (CL&D), formerly known as East End Literacy, was founded in 1979 as a community-based literacy organization serving downtown east Toronto. In 2006, the organization changed its name to reflect its growing initiatives and on-going commitment to community development and social inclusion. CL&D promotes the use of learning, digital storytelling, leadership develop
ment, and building healthy organizations, as vehicles for responding to community-based challenges, and promoting initiatives that lead to positive social change. Some of our programs include Academic Upgrading (AU), Immigrant Women Integration Program (IWIP), Food Processing Essential Skills Program (FPE), Clear Language & Design (CLAD) and a partnership with Elevate Talent.
