Establishment and Development of a Mifflin County GED Alumni Association. Final Report.
Molek, Carol
Because General Educational Development (GED) graduates in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, were in need of an association to encourage their further educational development and enhance their newly established feelings of self-worth, an alumni association was formed. Within this peer group, alumni vented frustrations, obtained special training, learned job search skills, worked with career counselors, organized social activities, and further promoted GED activities and stature in the community. The target audience was the graduates of GED programs in the county. Activities to establish the organization included recruitment and public relations. Activities conducted by the group included an alumna speaker, creation of a logo and a pamphlet describing the group, questionnaires, meetings, newsletters, writing workshop, graduations, job search helps, kid connections, a mid-winter conference, promotion of adult education legislation, and dropout prevention efforts. After the 10-month project, the group was firmly established and was prepared to function autonomously in the future. (KC)
