Adult Education
We also offer a range of opportunities for adults to continue their education. Many of our local YMCAs offer health and wellness education opportunities, but our services extend beyond that. Because of a strong partnership with IL Dept. of Human Services and the Chicago Dept. of Community Development, Chicago residents can participate in our employment training programs, as well as high school GED prep programs from the Illinois Community College Board and much more. We will be expanding our website content to include this content soon!
