An outstanding volunteer with Project Literacy Central Okanagan Society since 2006, Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union is proud to recognize Alex Carr with a $1,000 SimpleGenerosity Volunteer Award!

A retired math and physics educator, Alex generously contributes hundreds of hours, teaching learners English, math and physics; his expertise and passion for education is invaluable to our organisation. In addition to his time spent as a volunteer tutor (5 days a week), Alex is a past board member and board president of Project Literacy.

Alex is certainly a volunteer that spreads Simple Generosity throughout our community every day of the week!

Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union is sending high 5’s and kudos to SimpleGenerosity Volunteer Award recipient Bryon Johnstad!

Byron has been volunteering as an English tutor with Project Literacy Central Okanagan Society for more than five years. He has helped many new comers to Kelowna improve their literacy skills so they have a better opportunity for a successful life in Canada.

Byron is an exceptional person--kind and caring and always doing something extra for his Learners. Byron also volunteers at many Project Literacy fundraising events and he often donates holiday decor to the Learning Centre, which he makes himself; drawing on his Masters in Fine Arts degree!

Thank you Byron for being an outstanding person and volunteer!
