Program Overview
The Hastings Literacy Program provides free GED Test Preparation and English as a Second Language classes to adults ages 16 and older.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to enable persons age 16 and older to acquire the skills they need to meet the challenges they encounter in daily life and to take full advantage of opportunities in society. We provide literacy instruction to educationally disadvantaged persons and persons of limited English proficiency. We tailor instruction to students' personal goals and the assessed needs of individual students. We develop partnerships with other agencies and organizations to address the adult basic educational needs of the greater Hastings area and ensure that the students' total needs are considered.
Hours of operation: Monday - Thursday 9-12 & 6-9
Student and Volunteer Success Stories
Nyareak is one of our Reading students who originally started in ESL. Being from Sudan, she wanted to work on her English so she could talk to her family. "My children speak English, so now I can talk with them better. It helps me with how I read, speak,
and understand." explained Nyareak. This has been her first
experience in a school environment and she has been so successful! She now attends Reading where she is learning how to read and write in English. In a short time, she has progressed by leaps and bounds. When asked if she enjoyed our program she replied with an adamant "Yes! It has helped me learn more, the reading teachers help me with spelling, reading, and using the dictionary. I like learning English."
