New CCAE Scholarship Fund for Adult Ed Students


From CCAE:

When you support Adult Ed, you help adults reach their goals and achieve their potential. Adult education provides a pathway out of poverty into the middle class; it gives students a hand up, not a hand out. CCAE is dedicated to supporting schools in this endeavor by ensuring adequate funding for adult education. However, we need your help in supporting students in the next step - their college journey or their journal into career and technical education. So many have expressed an interest in helping in some way. That's why CCAE has started a Scholarship Fund. Please consider sponsoring a student today by donating to the CCAE Scholarship Fund!
100% of your donation will help students transition to
college or career and technical education.

Providing citizenship classes is part of the mission of Adult Education in California. Given what's happened to Adult Ed since the Big Crash of 2009 and how underfunded it remains, how available are citizenship classes in any given area?  How about in the areas of greatest need?  Or the areas where their citizenship would have the greatest impact in terms of civic engagement and voting? Inadequate funding for Adult Ed = Inadequate access for citizenship classes. If eligible immigrants could find a class and became citizens, how would that affect voting patterns - wins and losses - where they lived? T...
