Parent / Caregiver Testimonials
I love being a part of PAC! Thank you for your dedication to keeping it going.
CP has been very open to PAC ideas, training members, and very willing to learn and make this group work. I have nothing to add that isn’t already or has been done.
PAC has been an excellent opportunity for me to feel involved with our community. I have learned so much about Community Partnership and all of the wonderful things/resources they offer. I feel honored to serve as a PAC member.
Very flexible and helpful! Thank you guys so much. Helped me make very positive progress for myself.
Everyone at the GED program from CP is very helpful and helped me learn a lot, and the teachers help me understand and walk through situations when it comes to math and education.
The whole staff seems very nice and respectful. They have also been very understanding of my hectic schedule. I would recommend this program to any one looking for help to get ahead in life.
