While August is primarily “Back 2 School” prep season for most families, I would propose that September be the month where parents (or adults) take the time to strategize, plan, and prep for their own continued education. Whether it is G.E.D. classes, job certification/training, English or US Citizenship courses, take the time to invest in your own future and your road ahead.
I always get questions from friends and/or family members on organizations, resources, and tips on this topic so I thought to compile a list of some organizations in the PHiladelphia area which I’ve worked with in the past (some I have not but know them to provide free/discounted services). Best of luck this school year!
Mientras el mes de Agosto se considera mayormente la temporada de “Regreso a Clases” para los niños, propongo que Septiembre sea el mes en que los padres (o adultos) se toman el tiempo para crear una estrategia, plan de preparacion o accion para la educacion continua de ellos mismos. Ya se trate de clases para obtener el “G.E.D.” certificaciónes/preparacion para empleos, clases de Inglés, o cursos de Ciudadanía, aprovechen y tomen el tiempo para invertir en su propio futuro y su camino por delante.
Debido a que siempre recibo preguntas de amigos y/o familiares sobre este tema, pense que seria util poner en una sitio algunos paginas de organizaciones en el area de Filadelfia que proveen servicios educacioneles gratis (o a precios muy bajos). Mejor de las suertes en este año escolar !
