The Education Services program is designed to meet the following objectives:
- Provide knowledge of English as a second language such that the Southern Sudanese people can effectively communicate and function within the community.
- Teach students how to access available services, increase academic achievement, reduce lingual-cultural barriers, develop healthy relationships with parents, teachers, and peers, and successfully advocate for their needs.
- Help youth develop leadership skills, problem solving skills, and a sense of community responsibility.
- Assist adults who are too old to attend high school but lack a high school education to receive that education.
- Assist adults in attaining an education beyond the high school level and to acquire job skills
The educational services program is divided into two parts:
