In Dallas today, there are thousands of adults who are not able to reach their potential because they need an alternate pathway to a high school diploma. Aspire volunteers and students share an amazing experience as both parties engage in learning. Students have a deep desire to improve and volunteers get the joy of experiencing their students grow.
We welcome both experienced and novice instructors. If you have not taught adults, we will help you gain the skills to be an effective instructor. We provide curriculum, training, and support.
Instructors will guide and support students as they build core academic knowledge and essential skills necessary for success in most jobs and postsecondary programs in today’s economy.
