For more than six decades, C2C has used education to show underserved adults their own power and potential to change their lives. Through entrepreneurship classes, career coaching, computer boot camps, and professional development certifications, learners gain the experience they need to secure jobs that can sustain their families. They can also enroll in English as a Second Language and GED classes as a cohort, gaining essential skills and opportunities to network. Classes are flexible for those with limited time in their schedules, allowing all learners to proceed at their own pace. C2C educates over 6,000 residents annually, teaching them skills they can continue developing independently, placing them in good jobs, and fostering their confidence to advocate for themselves. For these residents, a C2C classroom is where trust and opportunity grow.
