General Educational Development (or GED) tests are a group of five subject tests which (when passed) certifies that the taker high school-level academic skills. To pass the GED Tests and earn a GED credential, test takers must score higher than 40 percent of graduating high school seniors nationwide.

The Coalition recruits and coordinates volunteers for the testing, tutoring and teaching of GED participants in the classroom and the Detention Center. This supply of willing and capable volunteers to assist and encourage students who did not or were not able to finish high school must be constantly replenished.

Volunteering in this program is rewarding work. You will work with people who could use a break; many are working, caring for families, and trying to pursue an education all at the same time
