The Outreach Center provides free adult education, GED preparation, learning-skills training, computer literacy, financial literacy, and employment skills education and assistance through the Fresh Start Education Center.

Fresh Start students are varied in age, from teenagers to the elderly. They also vary in abilities, but all are taught in a one on one educational environment. Many lack self-confidence when they first enter the program. Most Fresh Start students have been told that they lack certain educational skills, so they come into our program with low self-confidence and self-esteem. Like the other programs here at The Outreach Center, Fresh Start encourages people and helps them rise above their current level.

In 2008, 390 people received education and job preparation assistance at Fresh Start. This is a 54% increase over 2007. Of the 390 people assisted, 379 took computer literacy training. There were 249 students enrolled in Adult Basic Education courses and preparing for their GED. 17 individuals graduated with their GED, 2 of which graduated with honors. Of the 2008 Fresh Start GED graduates, 8 went on to college.
