Education and Employment Training

A significant factor for individual and family stability is earning a steady income. Y programs such as adult literacy, GED preparation and job training are critical to helping people obtain the essential skills that will set them on a path towards employment and self–sufficiency.

Head Start Programs

Head Start is a federal program that promotes school readiness by enhancing social, cognitive and emotional development in children from birth through five years old. This valuable program ensures children in underserved communities receive early learning opportunities and provides families with health and nutrition services.
