Voices of Hope Initiative: Building Community with Education

Join PAX Learning Center in Breaking Educational Barriers


🌐 Empowerment Through Education: At PAX Learning Center, we are dedicated to unlocking a world of opportunities through education. Our Voices of Hope Initiative pledges to provide not only free ESL education to the valiant refugees and immigrants arriving in Clark County but also to offer comprehensive GED courses for those seeking to complete their high school education.

🤝 Why Your Support Matters: This November, our goal is to raise $10,000 to bridge both the language and education gaps for individuals from regions in crisis, such as Ukraine and Israel, and for local residents who are economically disadvantaged. Your contribution is an investment in the power of language and knowledge.

🎓 Your Impact: Every donation is a vital support that allows us to expand our class offerings, enhance our resources, and foster a nurturing educational environment. Your kindness is the catalyst for creating success stories—be it in the form of language fluency, high school completion, or enriched lives—ultimately weaving the fabric of our community stronger and more vibrant.

Our Story and Mission


Empowerment Through Education

In the heart of SW Washington, PAX Learning Center shines as a sanctuary of hope and progress for our students. Recognized as a nonprofit educational pillar, we’re committed to lifting spirits and aspirations through our personalized GED and ESL programs—completely free of charge.

Why We're Different

Founded in 2018, PAX challenges the norm. We see our students—eager learners who've faced educational setbacks or are braving new beginnings in a different land—as unique individuals. They’re not just participants in our programs; they’re the very reason we exist. We tailor our support to their needs, ensuring everyone who comes through our doors feels valued and understood.

Our Response to a Need for Flexibility

We took a stand when academic rigidity became a mandate, knowing that a strict approach can reawaken past fears and hinder learning. Our solution? A supportive, community-driven environment that replaces anxiety with confidence, making learning an experience everyone looks forward to.


Milestones of Achievement: Our Educational Impact by the Numbers


🏆 Our Proven Impact: PAX Learning Center celebrates a legacy of transformative education with outstanding accomplishments. In just five years, we've proudly awarded 810 GED diplomas. Our inaugural year of the ESL program witnessed over 200 eager learners mastering English, a testament to our effective teaching methodologies.

💼 GED Success Stories: This year alone, 82 individuals have earned their GEDs, with an impressive 75% moving forward to gain employment or secure higher wages. This milestone not only changes individual lives but also strengthens the economic foundation of our community.

📈 ESL Breakthroughs: After our pilot year, the feedback from ESL students has been exceptional, indicating that they've made more significant strides in English proficiency with us than with any other program they've experienced. This positive response fuels our commitment to expanding and refining our ESL offerings.
