In partnership with the Local Good Center, we opened a new GED preparation program in Plano!
We noticed the lack of options for those adults needing to prepare for the GED in English test, so, we open one! The volunteer tutors are from the Plaza Comunitaria de Plano program (CCALC member). The Plaza Comunitaria de Plano offers GED in Spanish preparation classes.
With these two programs, adults in the community can get help to get ready to take the high school equivalency test in the language they studied before.
