Programs for Adults/Adult Educators
Creative Change’s adult programs provide the content, career connections and real-world skills to support adult learners in formal or informal settings.
- Literacy or ESL programs: Support reading and writing skills with content that is related to learner’s lives and communities.
- Green jobs initiatives: Enhance existing programs with environmental literacy, green content knowledge and real-world projects that build essential workforce skills.
- Libraries, faith-based groups, or community institutions: Develop new ‘courses’ for informal education programs, or infuse existing programs with new content.
- Formal adult programs (GED, etc.): Link instruction to academic and career pathways in a sustainable economy
