Our History
LEARN MORE ABOUT LAB

After they are assessed, adult learners meet with their tutor once a week for a minimum of 60 – 90 minutes. All materials are provided at no cost.
COCOA CENTRAL LIBRARY is now hosting WEEKLY morning cafes on Wednesdays from 10 AM - 11:30 AM.

Mondays from 5:30 - 7 PM.

Need to Know
A LAB STUDENT
could be an international college graduate who needs to learn English in order to get a job in the United States. A LAB student might be a grandmother whose own children graduated from high school but she herself never learned to read: now she wants to learn to read to her grandchildren. Our LAB student could be someone who had to drop out of school for whatever reason. Our LAB student could be a retired welding inspector, with a successful career, who never learned to read.
LAB VOLUNTEER TUTORS provide free individualized ONE-ON-ONE INSTRUCTION that focuses on the learner’s goals. Typical adults in our program struggle to read a menu, fill out a job application, or read a bedtime story to their children. Others left school before graduation and want to obtain their GED to improve employment opportunities. Many of our adult learners have families in which English was not the primary language spoken and now they want to improve their English skills.
“I have put off getting my high school equivalency (HSE) diploma for almost 11 years. To go to the next chapter in life, I need to obtain my HSE.”
