A GED Success Story


Recently, our GED graduate and part-time staff member, Michelle Espinoza (pictured right), was the guest speaker at a meeting of the Linly Heflin Unit. Her inspiring story is a powerful testament not only to her own perseverance and determination, but also to the transformative impact of education—both broadly and through our GED program in particular.


To all who support this work with your time, talent, and treasure, thank you. Success stories like Michelle’s are made possible through your generosity.


We invite you to read the transcript of her speech here.

We offer:

  • A nurturing environment in which you can receive help to set and achieve your educational and occupational goals.
  • Individual instructions from a teacher and tutors that work with you at your own level and pace before taking the G.E.D. test.
  • Free books and materials.
  • Free on-site childcare for children.
  • Free lunch for mothers and their children after classes.
  • Scholarships are available to help with cost of the test.
