About Us

BEACON provides tutoring to adults in the areas of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), GED (high school equivalency) and basic literacy (reading, writing, and math). Trained volunteers work with individuals and small groups at our partners sites throughout the western Prince William County, Virginia area. BEACON also provides life-skills workshops on topics such as health and safety, nutrition, financial literacy, parenting skills and community resources.

We provide learner-centered educationally focused programs. We respect each individual for their inherent worth. We thrive by creating lasting relationships that generate passion about our programs. We address everyday as an opportunity to excel. We strive to anticipate evolving needs and provide solutions.
