Our focus is on education professionals who serve distressed and at-risk populations — children at risk of academic failure, young children with special needs, students from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds, refugees and immigrants. We also serve professionals that work with adults who seek to advance their position by obtaining U.S. citizenship, a GED, improved language skills, or basic skills needed to hold and advance from service jobs.
