Adult Education

Access to adult education improves the well-being of the entire family. We offer a supportive, goal-directed environment where Amani residents can reach their educational goals with individualized learning plans.

We focus in three areas: 

• Adult Basic Education: Students receive one-on-one academic support in reading, writing, math, computer literacy and social studies.​
• ​GED/HSED Preparation Classes: Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) staff partner with Dominican Center tutors to provide adult classes on basic academic skills necessary for a referral to the General Education Diploma (GED) or High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) programs at the other community based organizations.​​

We are currently accepting enrollment in no fee adult education classes. These are held at the Dominican Center on Mondays through Thursdays from 12-4pm.

Community Efforts

With the support of our partners, we seek to:

• Engage organizations working in Amani that address stress, trauma, loss, mental health and other risk factors in adults and youth.
• Increase residents’ skills in advocacy and securing resources related to family well-being and life-long learning.
• Increase residents’ participation in decision-making with organizations and systems focused on education and family well-being.​
