2011 PEGASUS Award Recipient - Neighborhood House
The PEGASUS review team especially loved the holistic nature of Adult Education services and appreciated how the program works within the context of other agency services in basic needs and youth leadership. The Adult Education program at Neighborhood House teaches the literacy and life skills necessary for gaining economic self-sufficiency and creating future opportunities for adult learners and their families, helping participants go from survive to thrive.
