Michah Quote/GED Prep:
“I dropped out of school years ago and thought it was too late. Better Together showed me I wasn't dumb—I just
needed support. I passed my GED test and now I'm looking at better jobs for my family."
Manuel/Adult Literacy / ESL:
“English was hard for me, and I was embarrassed to ask for help. The teachers here are patient and kind. I can now read instructions at work and help my kids with their homework."
Janice/Volunteer:
“Volunteering with Better Together has been one of the most meaningful things I've done. You see real growth, people gaining confidence, reading better, and believing in themselves again."
