The Dominican Center offers a personal, goal-directed, loving and supportive environment in which Amani residents can reach their educational goals. Our adult education program offers three main focus areas: adult basic education, community education, and arts and culture. Each student meets with the executive director and education coordinator to determine the individual’s literacy goals for the year. The Center staff and volunteer tutors work closely with each student in helping them realize their potential.
Call 414-444-9930 if you would like to enroll in the education program. Please click here to learn more about volunteering as a tutor in the education program. |

GED / HSED Preparation ClassesAdults enrolled in these classes learn basic academic skills necessary for a referral to the General Education Diploma (GED) or High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) programs at Social Development Commission (SDC). Students demonstrate a commitment to their education through regular attendance. MATC staff partner with Dominican Center tutors to offer one-on-one support for students as they develop skills in language arts and mathematical reasoning, science and social studies.

Volunteer Tutors

Volunteer tutors are an integral part of adult education at the Dominican Center. Not only do they provide academic support, but they offer friendship. The care and trust that is fostered through friendship is critical to self and community efficacy necessary to the overall goal of neighborhood revitalization. Thank you tutors!
