ACCESS GED Program

A full-day program for overage, under-credited youth, who have experienced failure in other academic settings operated in collaboration with the DOE.  Specifically designed to work with older adolescents, the program offers personal support and assistance with post-secondary education or vocational training.  The program also incorporates the DOE’s Learning to Work initiative.

Downtown Brooklyn, Lincoln High School, Canarsie High School, Automotive High School YABC Programs

Full-time academic programs for youth, ages 17 ½ - 21, to help them complete their education.  The program design acknowledges that non-academic factors like family obligations, day care, and work schedules can hinder students from graduating.  Students take intensive afternoon and evening classes and focus only on the courses they need to graduate.  Operated in collaboration with the DOE, Good Shepherd provides case management; counseling and crisis intervention services; resource referrals; attendance outreach; workshops; academic tutoring and test preparation; college preparation, employment readiness, and career exploration activities; job development and placement; and youth development opportunities.

The Learning to Work program is available at the Downtown Brooklyn, Lincoln High School, and Canarsie High School sites.
