Access Other Student Support

We strive to remove as many barriers as possible to empower adults to reengage with education and meet their individual goals. Education Forward classes are always free, and students can attend classes when they are able, around their work schedules or family obligations. Resources such as onsite testing, childcare, transportation assistance, emergency food, and other wraparound services are open to all students.

Onsite Testing Center
We are an official PearsonVUE GED testing center, so when you are ready to take the exam, the transition to testing is easy. Testing can be done Monday through Friday based on student needs. We also provide financial support for testing fees.

Childcare
We offer on-site childcare to students while they attend instruction and tutoring. Our childcare is open to ages 6 months to 5 years.

Transportation Assistance
Students who attend consistently can apply for transportation assistance. Qualified students receive bus fare cards to get to and from our Main Building.

Other Resources
Students may also access additional resources available at Community Matters, including the Community Market food pantry, job search support, and other opportunities.
