GED program at Central YMCA

In the article New GED Program opens At Central Branch YMCAhttp://www.baystatebanner.com/local12-2010-02-04, discusses how on Feburary 3, 2010 a new location of The Pathway Technology Compass opened at the Central YMCA. The program which was originally placed at in the South End, help youths ages 16-24 to get their GED as well as provide them with resources they need when enrolling in college. The programs also offers other resources to student such as handling personal issues at home or what is going on socially. Because the location of the the program is at the Central YMCA, it is believe that many more students would enroll. I believe more programs like such or even better one, shoul be acessible to young adults within urban communities because it is programs like these that helps them get through in life as well as provide them a safe haven. Instead of crime increasing, this is one program out of many that can reach out to the younger generation as well as the generation at hand to stay off the streets and offer than an alternative way of living than what they already know.
