IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN

Offered by the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Adult and Community Learning Services‘ mission is to provide each and every adult with opportunities to develop literacy skills needed to qualify for further education, job training and better employment, and to reach his/her full potential as a family member, productive worker and citizen.

A variety of services are offered free of charge including adult basic education, English language skills, family literacy and GED preparation.  Services in Berkshire County can be found at the Massachusetts Adult Literacy Hotline (1-800-447-8844).
