Berrien County Even Start Family Literacy Program
The Berrien County Collaborative has recently been awarded the Even Start Family Literacy Grant in October, 2009. This grant opportunity offers promise for help in breaking the cycle of poverty and low literacy to the parents and children of Berrien County. Even Start provides educational services for the family, parents, and children. Parents who have not completed high school and would like to pursue a GED should contact Gayle Strickland or Dianne Fuller at 229-686-6247. The Even Start Family Literacy Center is at the Board of Education office and the Center is currently open for services. We are fortunate here in Berrien County to have this opportunity. If you would like to make a referral or visit our center, please call 686-6247 or send us an email.
