“More than one-half of homeless heads of households lack a high school diploma or GED. These individuals are likely to have fewer job opportunities, work fewer hours, and earn lower wages than those with a high school diploma or GED.

Certification Opportunities
Microsoft Office and GED Certification are both available to each guest who chooses to participate. We help them by providing an on-site instructor, and teachers who volunteer their time to provide the training needed to pass their certification.
