Creating Pathways to Self-Sufficiency

We’ve been providing free educational resources and training to Perry County residents for over 30 years. What we’ve learned in that time is that people’s problems are typically more complex than just the lack of a high school diploma or workforce training. Perhaps they don’t have the resources to travel for training, or because they don’t have access to childcare.

The people who walk through our doors face any number of barriers to learning and achievement – from histories of substance abuse to minor infractions of the law. We start by meeting people where they are. We work with learners to identify the barriers that keep them from moving forward on the path to self-sufficiency through appropriate support services.
