NEW! Leanne Learning Fund
|
If you are a girl, woman, or gender-oppressed person living in Lunenburg or Queen’s County, the Leanne Learning Fund can assist you to participate in learning opportunities that support your personal growth, whether educationally, physically, or emotionally!
Do you want to attend a skills or educational upgrading course, or take part in a fitness or art program, or maybe a leadership course? Any such program, not just formal education, could potentially qualify for an award of up to $500 under this Fund, based upon the cost of the program. To apply, learn more about Leanne or the Learning Fund, visit secondstory.ca/leanne-fund. Still have questions? Call 902-640-3044 or email info@secondstory.ca. |

"All the staff make me feel very calm and very welcome. I have used all their services and would highly recommend another woman to the centre for their help!"
