PROGRAM SUMMARY

UCAN provides education and youth programs to strengthen the foundation of skills and future development of our community.  UCAN's education program includes English, GED, and citizenship classes to expand opportunity for two key target populations: immigrants and out-of-school youth.  Students are provided life counseling while they attend classes to ensure they are connected to the services they need to succeed. Our services are provided in community settings through partnerships with local public schools.
