We ENVISION an end to illiteracy
Sage Youth Programs:

The ELF's parent charity, Sage Youth-Jeunesse Sage, provided direct literacy program delivery to marginalized children in Ottawa from 1992 to 2015. These programs form the foundation and model for the ELF's literacy and life-skills workbooks and training systems. Sage Youth closed in 2015 due to funding challenges. Some of its programs are now continuing at the ELF.
