EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Youth HSED Program
Day 41 Resource Center is working to implement a youth program at the Galveston County Juvenile Center for ages 10-17. For youth ages 16-24, we offer tutors to assist individuals seeking the High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED). Thus, the program is offered to youth with or without a conviction record. It allows you to gain hands-on job readiness training, career exploration, money management training, and more to guide you on the path to a better future.
Adult HSED & Tutoring Programs
With innovative teaching techniques to improve student engagement, in tandem with traditional texts and methods, we provide math, writing, and reading instruction to prepare you to earn your High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED)
For those seeking a postsecondary education upon obtaining their HSE, we provide scholarships, FASFA assistance, textbooks, used laptop computers, gas cards, bus passes, and school supplies.
Senior Citizen Reading Pals
Engaging in regular reading activities can offer a multitude of advantages for both seniors and volunteers. Books have the power to unlock new adventures and serve as a catalyst for meaningful conversations. Studies have shown that individuals who read frequently are more inclined to think before making impulsive decisions, leading to a greater openness to change and reduced anxiety in the face of life's uncertainties. Many seniors at the Carol Young unit lack regular visitors, making a weekly or monthly reading session a highly anticipated and valuable addition to their lives.
DREAMS DESIGNED FOR A KING
