Family Literacy Programs
 
The Jubilee Family Literacy Project directs a comprehensive approach in developing educational classes for families in the Jubilee Park neighborhood.  Classes in English as a Second Language (ESL), Pre-GED/GED, Computer Literacy and Family Literacy activities provide a continuum of educational support for the whole family.  Jubilee's Family Literacy Project engages students in learning experiences that are culturally relevant and realistic.  Parents can achieve their personal goals in pursuit of furthering their education and in helping their children prepare for success in school.  Jubilee is the neighborhood catalyst in education, serving families living in Southeast Dallas
 
English as a Second Language (ESL) Class
 
ESL Classes are directed at those individuals in the community, and outside as well, looking to improve their English language skills, especially their conversational English.  Students who participate in class are on my levels of English proficiency.  Improving English skills gives our community to better and more marketable job skills.  They are able to help their children with homework and converse confidently with other English language speakers.  Classes are taught by Mr. Eddie Hernandez.  ESL Classes. are offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9:00-12:00.  A Wednesday night class, 6:00-8:00pm has also been added due to the growing demand and popularity of the class.
 
Computer Literacy Class
 
These classes, also taught by Mr. Eddie Hernandez, focus on basic computer skills for students such as use of keyboard, mouse, numbers, scrolling function, opening and closing docuents.  Students create email accounts and learn how to maneauver around Internet search engines.  Another important skill learned by students is proper use of Microsoft functions, Word, PowerPoint and Excel for checkbook balancing.  Students are on all levels.  Currently classes are limited to 12 students, as only 12 computers are available at Jubilee.  The new Jubilee Community Center will be completely wireless, turning every classroom into a computer class with unlimited possibilities!  Classes are Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00-12:00pm.
