Citizenship
Welcome to the office for Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English as a Second Language (ESL).
The Adult Basic Education (ABE)/English as a Second Language (ESL) office helps adults develop or improve literacy, reading, writing, math, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
ABE offers programs for adults that help them with basic skills or prepares them for GED (General Education Development) testing. ESL offers a wide variety of programs, including those for families, professionals and the English Language Institute (ELI). The Citizenship program prepares adults to take the test for U.S. Citizenship.
And for those wishing to help out in any of these areas, People Educating People (PEP) recruits, trains and places volunteers as tutors.
For program information, call (630) 942-2562.
