A free family literacy program created to give families opportunities to be actively involved in learning together. The major components of the program are:

Adult Education , Early Childhood Education , Parenting Education & Support , Parent & Child Together Time , Home Visits .

Parents participate in adult education classes according to their needs. This may include courses to prepare for the GED and/or ESL courses to increase English Language skills through the Johnson City E.S.O.L. program. If you complete these programs, you are still eligible to participate in Even Start activities (until your youngest child is eight years old) as you work toward new educational or career goals.

The family in the left picture are participants in the program. The dad recently attained his GED ; the mom is in the GED program and hopes to attain the GED soon as well. Johnson City Even Start is pleased and proud to provide assistance to these young parents.
