Adult Learning Centers Adult Learning Centers G BC's Adult Learning Centers in Elko, Winnemucca, Ely, Owyhee, Wendover, and Battle Mountain help people in their respective communities to improve their basic skills. We offer free tutoring to adults of all ages who have an interest in improving their reading, writing, mathematics, and English skills. English as a Second Language is also addressed in all of these open-entry learning centers. Our professional tutors assist people in unlocking the mysteries of printed words and numbers. Students may study for their own personal satisfaction, to improve their daily survival skills, or simply to be able to read to their children and grandchildren.
Students can also improve their job-related skills through small group and individualized tutoring.
These services are provided by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. All centers offer flexible programs with morning, afternoon, and evening hours to accommodate the students' varying work schedules. These free programs are funded by the Adult Basic Education Act and the State of Nevada. GBC, in administering these programs, tries to deliver educational opportunities to all interested persons in rural Northeastern Nevada, including providing services to minimum security prisoners at four Conservation Camps.
