Our Adult Learning Programs (ALPs) are free for adults who did not get their high school diploma. We have two full-time instructors on staff delivering daytime and evening ALP classes. Some of the benefits of these classes include:

• FREE for all adults who have not completed their high school diploma, are over 19 years old, and have been out of school for one year.
• Continuous intake from September to May.
• Small classes with qualified teachers.
• Input in decisions made regarding goals, programs, schedules, and progress.
• Classes run Monday to Thursday, both daytime and evening, September to May.

This is a learning program targeting individuals who have long-term or significant challenges when finding or holding onto employment. It is a combination of classroom learning, workshops, training programs and volunteer work experience. The goal of the program is employment or meaningful volunteer work for all participants. Contact us for more information about the Skills to Work Program and information on start dates.
