FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-What is Next Generation Zone?
Next Generation Zone is a youth re-engagement center offering GED prep and career services to youth ages 16-24. Due to concerns over CODIV-19, our classroom, along with all other WA state K-12 programs, is closed through the remainder of the school year. In the meantime, we have shifted our GED program to an online format. This way, our students can continue to study and prepare for their tests without falling behind.

Start by attending one of our online orientations! Orientations are offered every Tuesday at 9:30am. Click here to attend via Zoom.
