GED Preparation

We use high quality assessments to create an individualized study plan for each student that enrolls in the program. We specialize in personal interaction between our students and our team of certified teachers. Literacy and Beyond's staff of teachers work tirelessly to deliver one-on-one and group learning opportunities to ensure that ALL of our students have a positive learning experience while accomplishing their educational goals.

College & Career Support

Students benefit from an on-site college and career advisor who supports current 2GEN GED students as they prepare for their next steps after earning their GED. Additionally, the college and career advisor supports students who enroll at SC4 to earn an associate degree, or who choose to earn other certificates or licenses. All 2GEN GED graduates are eligible for the competitive 2GEN GRADS Scholarship which provides each recipient with yearly stipends of $500 for books/laptop and $1200 for transportation needs or to help cover the cost of childcare or other life needs while earning a degree, certificate or license.

Early Childhood Education

Developed and directed by Literacy and Beyond's qualified early learning staff, this program for 0-3 year-old's is designed to integrate play, discovery, and early literacy activities in a safe and stimulating environment. Learning goals are established for the preschoolers in this program, and parents are encouraged and equipped to reinforce these objectives at home. Childcare is provided at no cost to women enrolled in the GED program.

Professional Counseling and Coaching

2GEN adult students can receive counseling services from Lynda Ross, MA, LPC, NCC and Haylea Longo, MSW, at the 2GEN Learning Center. Counseling is voluntary and provided at no cost to students. Students also attend 45 minute Women's Empowerment classes twice monthly taught by our licensed counselor designed to discover and build on the strengths that each student possesses. This extra support offers students the opportunity to build resilience empowering them to persevere through the challenges of improving their education and leading to an all around healthy life.
