Adult Education addresses a variety of learner goals! We help learners to:

  • Attain employment and/or better their current employment;
  • Achieve high school equivalency (GED or Adult H.S. Diploma);
  • Attain skills necessary to enter postsecondary education and training;
  • Exit public welfare and become self-sufficient;
  • Learn to speak and write the English language;
  • Master basic academic skills to help their children succeed in school;
  • Become U.S. citizens and participate in democratic society; and
  • Gain self-esteem, personal confidence and sense of personal and civic responsibility.

Volunteers are always needed and welcome! Please consider donating your time and talent for tutoring, mentoring, classroom support, or office work! Lakes Area Adult Education will provide the training required by The Minnesota Department of Education for Adult Education volunteers.
