Citizens Concerned for the Homeless has always recognized its clients' need for education. Often lacking even a high school diploma, many have little chance of succeeding - working their way to self-sufficiency and out of poverty. Providing opportunities for more skills training and education has been an important CCH long term goal.
In 2011, through a gift from the former Grace Church and with the assistance of Michigan City government, CCH has opened a learning center. The building is now completed. Students and volunteers are signing up. Instruction will begin soon.
Among the programs that Grace Learning Center will offer:
- Helping teens who aren’t in school to recover the academic credits necessary to earn their high school diplomas.
- Offering reading and math tutoring to adults who are preparing for their GED (General Equivalency Diploma) test.
- Teaching life skills such as budgeting and parenting.
Trained volunteers working one-on-one will provide the necessary assistance. These programs are free of charge for those in need in the LaPorte County community.
Potential volunteer tutors and learners are urged to contact us:
