About Us
GOALS (Greater Orange Literacy Services) is a volunteer-based organization that is focused on offering literacy services to all residents of our community. The ability to read, write and understand is paramount to navigating our ever-changing world, and GOALS is here to ensure all local citizens aged 16 and up have access to the necessary resources to achieve their personal GOALS.
GOALS works to make functional literacy available to all our neighbors via our onsite programs of GED preparation classes and ESL classes. Literacy is an unbiased skill, and GOALS is an unbiased organization. We work with all our neighbors with no concern for gender, age, race, ability, ethnicity, family, or marital status.
We believe in the power of literacy to transform lives, empower individuals, and strengthen our community.
Our Mission
At GOALS, our mission is to provide accessible and inclusive literacy services to all members of our community. We are dedicated to fostering a love for reading and learning, and to equipping individuals with the essential skills for personal and professional growth. This includes teaching English as a second language, and preparing students for their GED.
Our Vision
For 31 years, our vision has been a community where every individual has the opportunity to achieve their full potential through literacy. We aspire to create a society that values and prioritizes literacy, leading to greater opportunities and a more prosperous future for all.
