JumpStart
2 Success
The Washington Literacy Center is now OPEN! for in-person learning and business!!
Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
JumpStart 2 Success is a six-week program that is broken down into two sections. The first two weeks are allotted for pre-planned instruction developed by our Education Team; after completion, the remaining weeks will be dedicated to obtaining certifications and planning obtainable education goals through a set schedule of activities and presentations. The program aims to acclimate or re-acclimate customers who have been participating in a 2-generation activity and not participating in a program back into an educational setting. The program also addresses concerns that customers may have with being in a classroom setting and taking necessary steps to reach their academic goals.
