Core academics
Goal-setting
Self-discipline

High school diploma (GED) prep

In the Learning Center, career counseling is also available to New Life Program members, tailored to help them:

Acquire computer application skills: word processing, spreadsheets and more

Our Learning Center is a key stepping stone to a new and better life for the men and women in our program. The support we receive from the Greater Long Beach community makes all the difference.
