Access and Success for Adults (ASA) is celebrating a new Partnership with Sally Orlando of Mature Services, Inc. as they enter a new phase of providing a part-time staff to help serve local residents.

ASA is entering the third year of offering classes at the Adams/Brown Community Action Program (ABCAP) Building in Georgetown and are very thankful for the funding made available from United Way of Greater Cincinnati and General Electric’s Community Service Agency to assist in serving low income, under-represented individuals.

Student retention services are provided at $7 a day for a gasoline allowance while attending the “Your Place” for the Adult Learner classes.  The director, Sue Evans, provides essential training by assisting individuals-in-transition in achieving their goals of entering into higher education and/or finding employment for the betterment of their families and society as a whole. Various speakers from the area agencies, businesses and colleges share available resources with participants.

If you would like to explore career options, colleges or your strengths and values, this is a great place to begin. Gayle Davis, "The Lady with the Hattitude," brings the lessons of life home by teaching the ABCs:  Attitude, Belief System, and Choices. She has volunteered as a motivational speaker for the classes for over 20 years. Individuals are presented with a Certificate of Completion on the last day of class.

The next class will be offered at the ABCAP Building in Georgetown beginning Aug. 20 and ending Sept. 26. The six-week class will operate on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Should a participant decide to continue in higher education, college semester hours will be awarded. If you or someone you know that would benefit from a class that will help with transitional, college, and workplace skills, contact Peggy Berry or Sue Evans.

To register for a class or for further information, call (937) 378-3564 or e-mail Peggy at paberry47@gmail.com.[[In-content Ad]]
