Family Literacy
The Family Literacy Program offers 15 and 30‑week courses during the school year at Title I elementary schools and community centers across Guilford County. We believe that parents are their child’s first teachers. While strengthening adult literacy skills, we equip families with tools to support school readiness and create a welcoming community where family voice and belonging are valued. Through focused instruction for both caregivers and children, the program fosters a lifelong love of learning within the entire family.
Job and Career Training
Our job and career training program helps students with the job training, computer skills, math, and literacy skills needed to get jobs with living wages and to meet the needs of the job market.
Programs are offered in workplace readiness, manufacturing, food service, personal care assistant, and trades apprenticeships. Students’ needs are met by offering different levels of training and programming.
