important tool to change. We serve over 400 students each year,
providing over 13,000 hours each year. Over 30 GED’s are earned
each year! We provide all materials needed for the student’s
successful completion of their Individual Education Plan. We
offer:
GED
Program
The Crossroads Career & Academic Center graduates the equivalent
of a small high school senior class every year. We utilize a
back-to-basics individual approach to lesson plans. Our adult
learners learn by doing! Participants up for success.
Vocational Training Program
The vocational training program is designed to prepare the
participants to learn supervisory skills, food service skills,
how to maintain proper sanitation and health conditions, office
assistants, warehouse management, retail sales and a variety of
other positions. Participants learn how to work with people, to
live sober, productive lives, and to be engaged citizens in the
community. Quite often those who complete the training get jobs
in the community.

Q & A
I
dropped out of High School and never got my GED. I find it hard
to get a job now. How can I get my GED?
Our GED Program is open
to the community as well as for the homeless and program
clients. Your first step is to have a desire to better
yourself and then make the call, or come to the Career &
Academic Center (Mon-Fri 8am-4pm). We will set you up with an
Individual Education Plan based on the results of an
assessment test that you will take.
I don't have much money, how much does this cost?
Our GED Program is free
due to special funding from generous donors who want to help
others improve their lives.
I am embarrassed to admit that I cannot read or do math that
well. What about me?
We provide a safe,
positive, trusting, honest, and professional environment
focusing on your strength! It is more embarrassing not to
improve yourself.
