Since 1985, NEW START Adult Learning Program, with the help of many volunteers, has helped thousands of students to become productive members of the community. We are a fully-accredited 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization dedicated to helping adults better their lives and their communities by improving their basic reading, writing, math and speaking skills. We do this by offering free, student-centered instruction in Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language, Conversation, and Citizenship to adults in lower New Castle County.
NEW START is accepting donations, both large and small, so that we can continue to provide these services and help thousands more! We can't do it without you!
