Empowering Futures: The GEDWorks Program with Foster Kids United

In a world where every foster youth deserves a chance to succeed, Foster Kids United stands as a beacon of hope, particularly for those aging out of the foster care system. We understand the unique challenges these young individuals face, and our mission is to provide them with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive. One such initiative that embodies our commitment is the GEDWorks program.

Breaking Down Barriers

Education is a cornerstone for a brighter future, yet many foster youth face significant barriers in achieving their academic goals. The GEDWorks program is designed to break down these barriers, providing a comprehensive and supportive pathway for obtaining a GED. This program is more than just a test preparation service; it’s a lifeline offering personalized support, study resources, and a dedicated team to guide foster youth every step.

  • Free tests and study materials

  • A personal GED Advisor™ to help you every step of the way

  • Access to our Facebook support group

Personalized Support

Each participant in the GEDWorks program receives personalized support tailored to their unique needs. This includes access to a personal advisor who works closely with them to create a customized study plan, ensuring they are well-prepared and confident as they approach their GED exam. This one-on-one guidance is crucial for many foster youth who may have missed out on consistent educational support.

Comprehensive Resources

The GEDWorks program offers a wealth of resources to aid in the learning process. From interactive lessons and practice tests to study guides and tutoring, every resource is designed to make learning engaging and effective. The flexibility of the program allows foster youth to study at their own pace, accommodating their individual schedules and life circumstances.

Building Confidence

One of the most significant benefits of the GEDWorks program is the boost in confidence it provides. For many foster youth, obtaining a GED is a monumental step towards independence and self-sufficiency. It opens doors to higher education opportunities, better job prospects, and a sense of accomplishment that can positively impact their overall well-being.
