If you live in Dutchess County, you can get paid to pursue your GED. Traditionally you would have to study independently or join a class, and when you're fully prepared, you would take your test.

Here at Nubian Directions, we completely re-worked how GED courses are traditionally viewed. We don't only utilize amazing instructors through Dutchess Community College, but we reward you for your accomplishments.

Are you on the fence about pursuing a GED? If you come to our program and perform your duties, you'll get paid a check for the hours you give. The check is actually a stipend you receive to off-set your costs for participating in the program, i.e. transportation, meals, etc.

On top of that, we reward you with a huge bonus when you finally complete the GED exam.

We are committed to ensuring the students of our community have a fair shot, but we understand that money is important. This is only the tip of the iceberg of what you get from our program.

We not only incentivize you for good performance but we also offer industry recognized certifications for free. These certifications could cost as much as $700+ outside of YouthBuild.

Participants who fulfill their AmeriCorps service obligations and register for the National Service Trust have the opportunity to obtain the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award, which amounts to $1,824. This award can be utilized to cover qualified student loan payments as well as expenses associated with ongoing education at eligible higher education institutions or training programs.

All while you meet amazing people that will mentor and empower you to take your success to the next level.

So stop waiting! Join our family and get paid to preform! Contact us today for questions on enrollment and lets take you to the next level!
