About Community Educational Outreach (CEO)
Community Educational Outreach (CEO) is devoted to providing educational resources that target at-risk, low-income adults. CEO outreaches to local community correction, drug rehabilitation, and community-based facilities in an effort to help clients remain productive members of society. Through student-centered, individual, and small-group instruction, we assist our students in pursuing educational skills, employment and job prospects, computer skills, and life and family goals.
How You Can Serve.
At CEO, you can serve by tutoring one-on-one in the HS (high-school equivalency) program. This could include tutoring in Math, Reasoning through Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science. Sundays we need help with our "open-lab”; grading student’s guided practices and reviewing Math and Language lessons. We would also be able to directly assist in daily operations of a nonprofit; including a variety of administrative tasks.
