GED Prep/College Prep

Target Population : Disconnected youth (18+) and any adult who lacks a college degree or is unable to take college classes due to a lack of academic skill

LC Chats
We realized we needed to find a way for current ESL students to practice the language skills we were teaching. But we wanted to make sure that everyone at every level would have a place to practice that felt safe for them. We devised a completely modular, drop-in model of conversation class that works on stand-alone themes.
Target Population : ESL adult learners

Digital Literacy (Basic to Advanced IT Certifications)
Currently, we offer basic Digital Literacy classes, as well as workplace recognized MS and G Suite certifications, and regular, topic-specific, live trainings for real life applications.We also offer the first certification for COMP-TIA.
