Help 42 Adult Learners Get Their GED

Right now in our community, there are adults working toward something they never got the chance to finish. They’re balancing jobs, families, and responsibilities, while studying at night for their GED. We’re on a mission to help 42 students cross the finish line.

It takes just $720 to support one student from start to graduation. Your gift goes directly toward giving someone a second chance and a real path forward.

Our Equation for Change

A GED opens the door to better jobs, higher income and new opportunities. Every gift helps a student earn their GED.

$50 = Technology Fee
$160 = Books & Learning Materials
$160 = Registration Fee
$350 = Tuition
$720 = A GED Graduate

Fundraising Progress

We’re working to raise $30,000 to sponsor 42 students on their path to a GED. Every dollar moves someone closer to graduation, and a completely different future.

Rachael Chalabe

After years of hardship and starting over as a working single mother in Greenville, Rachael earned her GED through GLA and is now pursuing a path to join the U.S. Air Force with the dream of becoming a pediatric neurologist.

Sylvie Rangira

After moving to the U.S. from Rwanda and landing a job at BMW, Sylvie earned her GED through GLA, juggling night shifts and a second job , and is now pursuing a supply chain management degree at Greenville Tech with the goal of advancing her career at BMW.

“I took advantage of everything that GLA offered me, though it wasn’t easy – I put in a lot of hard work and studied, and became one of the most dedicated students in the program.”

"I wanted to give my daughter some stability in life, and to show her you can go as far as you want to with the proper education, teachers and support system. I'm officially a graduate."

"GLA gave me a second chance at life. I’m no longer dreaming of the future. I’m living the dream.”
