Carolyn has been working with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy since 2008, starting as a volunteer language tutor and later working as a program facilitator, settlement worker and Community Literacy Outreach Coordinator. Having lived in Japan for more than three years, Carolyn has a keen understanding of the challenges that face racialized newcomers. Carolyn has helped to develop CBAL’s settlement program and now acts as the coordinator for our team of 10 settlement staff throughout the Kootenay & Boundary. A community-builder at heart, Carolyn is excited to build on her work as the new WKLIP Coordinator.
