Brush Country Literacy Council

Program Overview

We provide assistance to adults who need to navigate the process of taking the high school equivalency exams. Customized tutoring services give students the knowledge and skills needed to pass these exams. We provide students with free GED ready practice tests to determine their readiness for an official exam. When students pass a practice test, we assist them in securing financial support for the official exam or, in certain instances, cover the exam costs ourselves. We serve communities in the South Texas coastal bend region. Classes are conducted in spaces donated by community partners in the cities of Orange Grove, Robstown, Alice, and Kingsville, and the surrounding rural areas. We cater to a broad base of individuals who did not complete their high school education. Participants may include teenagers who left high school early, young adults seeking an alternative to traditional schooling, and older individuals looking to enhance their career prospects or pursue higher education. Many participants are adults who have been out of the formal education system for many years. They are seeking to improve their employment opportunities, advance in their careers, or pursue further education.
