Program areas at East Wayne Street Center

Project solve is an acronym for stepping on the ladder of vocational education. Since the inception of the project solve program, over two hundred students have earned a high school equivalency diploma and the average annual class enrollment is between 45 and 60 students. Many of these students have used this accomplishment to obtain employment while others have entered post-secondary institutions in pursuit of a college degree. The project solve program measures enrollment, attendance, graduation, and academic level gains made in reading, math, and language. It also enhances competence in communications skills and critical thinking. Students can choose vocational training such as welding or cna training to receive industry certifications.
Outreach: the ewsc food bank is a program provided to the community to provide food for low-income individuals who are in need. The food bank is open twice a week for two hours a day. The Center has been implementing this program since 1983.
The family literacy program is a national literacy program that began in 1994 with the overall objective of providing educational, parenting, and social resources to the entire family unit instead of simply the child or the parent. The program encourages families to learn together and practice literacy behaviors while providing access to parenting skills, job skills, and hse preparation. The family literacy program also measures enrollment, attendance, graduation, and academic level gains made in reading, math, and, language. Students are initially tested to determine academic levels, after 30-40 hours of class instruction the students are tested again to measure academic progress. A parenting resource is also available to students where they can discuss common issues and share resources and strategies. Ewsc has also adjusted the program eligibility requirements to include families without children. Transportation and child care are available for both programs as well as access to the Center's food and clothing bank.
