GOALS is a non-profit, tax exempt, adult literacy program that is dedicated to preparing adults, working at the high school level, who have not received a high school diploma, to earn a GED (General Educational Development) Certificate, providing Adult Basic Education to those reading below the sixth grade level and English as a Second Language for non-English speaking adults. We believe that the ability to read is critical to personal freedom and to the maintenance of a democratic society. Our society is dependent upon an informed citizenry, and the ability to read is necessary to be informed. As our culture becomes more complex and dependent on technology, literacy becomes ever more basic to survival and the achievement of one's potential.
