GED Program

JCU Green Road Annex
Green Road
University Heights ,  OH  44118

Phone: (216) 397-4698

Description:
GED stands for General Educational Development Tests, a battery of examinations administered by states and jurisdictions to measure the skills and knowledge similar to a high school course of study. A GED credential documents that a person has high school-level academic skills. About 96 percent of U.S. employers and 95% of U.S. universities accept the GED credential as equal to a traditional high school diploma. GED tests were first developed in 1942 to help returning World War II veterans finish their high school studies and reenter civilian life. Since that time, the program has opened to persons who have not completed high school for a variety of reasons. In 2007, more than 728,000 adults worldwide took some portion of the GED test battery. Of that total, more than 614,000 (86%) completed the battery of five tests and 451,000 earned passing scores on the five-test battery.

What we do there:
Service participants tutor community members who are seeking to pass their GED examinations at various locations.

TBC GED TUTORING (WEDNESDAY)
GED Program

The Thea Bowman Center (TBC) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to be an ongoing beacon of hope to the Mt Pleasant Community. TBC demonstrates its commitment to the people of the community by:

  • Helping people by encouraging and enhancing healthy relationships.
  • Organizing programs of assistance and mentoring.
  • Promoting empowerment of the community.
  • Educating people through social, health and wellness, cultural, and spiritual activities.

Service Participants in this activity will assist with tutoring area residents who are preparing to take their GED exam.

Participants should also be patient, be able to explain effective study skills, and have a good command of written English.

NOTE: This is a new service activity and in the early stages of development. As such, participants should expect some inconsistencies in terms of residents' ability to attend GED tutoring. It is possible that on some weeks, participants in this activity will NOT engage in direct service, but rather assist with support activities for the program. Participants who are uncomfortable with this are encouraged to select a different service activity. 

ALSO: Participants in this activity MUST attend the GED Tutor training session held on the JCU campus on Saturday, September 12th from 10:00am-3:00pm in room AD48.  Lunch is provided, and 5 hours service credit will also be given for this training.
