Adult Education Success
“HOPES has empowered me through their free computer classes and upon completion of each class a certificate which makes me feel like I really accomplished something. Not only do I have knowledge of computers but now I know Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, & Word. Not only that, HOPES helped me to find a JOB. With the help of HOPES & my instructor I really, really accomplished something."
