January 29, 2010 commenced another cycle of the YWCA of Queen's GED Program. The program has been providing a nurturing environment where students can renew their focus towards their academics and employment. Many of the program's students come from varied backgrounds where alternative solutions to learning are unavailable. This program provides hope to those who seek a home for continuing their education.
The program owes its success to its dedicated instructors and the openness for change from its students. The program has focused on redefining and reassuring students of what school is about. Mr. Michael Luk, an instructor and counselor, has been commuting three hours each way for the past few years. He says, "It's worth it," because he finds this program rewarding for more than just his students. He has seen progress. Therefore, it is no surprise that some students have gone on to prestigious institutions and world renowned companies. This program serves to mentor students beyond the realms of the classroom.
