                                                                                GED & Life Skills

​

People will have an opportunity to get their GED through an approved school/organization. In addition, individuals can take life skills courses to help them stay motivated and achieve success.

​

Taking the first step in obtaining your GED and creating your pathway to success is admirable. There are many options made available to people who graduate from high school or get their GED.  For example, the ability to go to college or technical school, more job opportunities, and enter the military are some.

To get your GED, people are required to take a test that consists of four sections (Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning through Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science). Click here for more information about the GED test.

We will help participants find a location to take GED courses and the test.  Additionally, participants may qualify for a scholarship to cover the cost of the GED test.

​

LIFE SKILLS

​

Participants will have the opportunity to participant in various courses to help them remove barriers and work towards achieving success.  The courses will challenge the participants to look at situations differently so they can do something different to get a different outcome. The courses will help them recognize the power they have to change their future.
