Learning is crucial
“A longitudinal study of adult education participants found that participation in at least 100 hours of adult education was correlated with a $9,000 increase in annual earnings.” – Coalition on Adult Basic Education: Legislative Talking Points, 2021
Why our program matters
Our education program strengthens the community by equipping those community members that face difficulties because of low English capacity with the skills and understanding for more and better opportunities through free English and work preparedness classes for adults. We work to assist adults in improving their English skills and empower them to learn the skills necessary to function more independently in the United States.
