Class Structure
Classes are small, generally four to six students placed according to their reading and/or language skills. Taught by trained volunteer tutors, all groups follow a standard, student-centered curriculum, which incorporates real-life lessons along with English literacy skills.

Educational Technology
Through the Educational Technology program, individualized instruction is available on a variety of topics, including budgeting and financial literacy, computer skills, obtaining a driver's license, job search, and family literacy. Workshops on these topics are also offered based on interest and volunteer availability.

Pre-GED instruction made possible by a generous grant from the Walmart Foundation.
