The Labourer-Teacher program (L-T for short) is the original literacy program of Frontier College. We recruit, train and send Labourer-Teachers to work and teach across Canada. Currently Labourer-Teachers are placed primarily in agricultural settings: on farms and in processing plants. They have also worked on rail gangs, in lumber and mining camps, in prisons, in urban factories and in remote communities. Wherever they are, Labourer-Teachers do the same heavy labour jobs as other workers. In peak season, this can mean 12 hours per day, 6-7 days per week. For this work, Labourer-Teachers are paid the same as their co-workers - usually minimum wage. In addition to this physical work, Labourer-Teachers volunteer their time to provide educational and recreational opportunities for their co-workers. These activities are determined by the interests of people in their workplace.  1, record 1, English, - Labourer%2DTeacher%20program
