Community Education
 211 West Richway Drive  Albert Lea, MN 56007  (507) 379-4834   ||   ** “Learning, Leading and Linking” **  As a community resource for life-long learning, Community Education is a unique educational concept that embraces everyone in the community. Anyone can be involved and assist in determining community needs. An Advisory Council comprised of representatives from different areas of our community assists in advising staff, identifying community resources, determining community needs and sharing responsibility for the mission of educating all members of the community. Community Education brings community members together to identify and link community needs and resources in a manner that helps people to help themselves and raise the quality of life in their communities. Community Education collaborates with many different community agencies and organizations which results in efficient and cost-effective ways of delivering education and community services and collective action to address quality of life issues. <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Programs offered through Community Education that includes, but are not limited to: <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> * Adult Basic Education <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> * English as a Second Language <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> * School Age Child Care <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> * G.E.D.
