Aspire Celebrates Successful Fall Registration!
 
Aspire is thrilled to see so many people in the community who are ready to learn! The registration period for the Fall 2024 semester has officially closed, and what a success it was! The Aspire team is excitedly preparing to welcome all the new and returning students.
 
Each learner's journey is unique, which is why Aspire offers online and in-person ESL options and online GED classes.
 
As the first day of classes approaches September 9, Aspire's committed staff and volunteer instructors are eager to provide exceptional guidance and support throughout every student's educational journey.
 
When you are a student at Aspire, you are part of a community that lifts each other up because when you dare to learn, there's no obstacle you cannot overcome.

A New Home for Learning 
Aspire Partners with Jubilee Park to Expand ESL Classes 
 
At Aspire, we believe learning turns obstacles into opportunities. Aspire is thrilled to announce its new partnership with Jubilee Park and Community Center, a collaboration that will help reach more learners and make a greater impact in the community.
 
By collaborating with Jubilee Park and Community Center, Aspire is creating a new gateway for learning in the neighborhood. This partnership allows students another convenient location to attend classes, making it easier for them to overcome challenges and pursue their educational goals.
 
This partnership embodies Aspire's value of lifting each other up. Together, we are nurturing our neighbors with resources and education, helping them fully participate in and contribute to the community.
 
As our Interim President and CEO, Paul DiBiase, aptly put it, "We are very excited about our Jubilee Park partnership. When two philosophically aligned organizations dedicated to serving people in need join together, our entire community benefits."
 
We look forward to this partnership's positive impact on students and the community.
