Center for Literacy GED Program Returns
The Center for Literacy is deepening its commitment to adult education through a revitalized GED program. Over the past 30 years, we have successfully graduated more than 400 GED students, and we are now bringing back this vital opportunity for adult learners on Chicago's South and West sides to gain small-group and one-on-one instruction in pursuit of their high school equivalency degrees. This program is entirely free to participants and is taught by a team of instructors that includes UIC College of Education grad students and former GED program participants who understand these learners' needs and experiences--because they have been there themselves. We work in partnership with local schools, community organizations, and the UIC Neighborhood Center Initiative to envision the GED program as part of an educational pathway for Chicago residents to access education, connect to employment opportunities, and achieve their goals. In this way, the Center for Literacy is one very important way that the College of Education and UIC shows up in Chicago neighborhoods.
