We operate two community-based adult education centers in Southeast Washington, D.C. Both centers are in an area of the city with very few educational opportunities.
Many participants in our programs complete their high school work by preparing for the GED exam or by completing the External Diploma Program (EDP).
Others learn to use a computer or to repair a computer.
Some participants have other learning goals such as preparing for an apprenticeship exam, or improving their reading and writing skills.
