-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.
-How do I get enrolled?
Start by attending one of our online orientations! Orientations are offered every Tuesday at 9:30am. Click here to attend via Zoom.
-When and where can I go to class?
We offer classes in all four GED subjects Monday through Thursday via Facebook Live. Video of the class will also be archived on our YouTube Channel for those who can’t tune in for the live broadcast.
-Is one-on-one tutoring still available?
Yes! Tutoring is available through Microsoft Zoom. You can set up an appointment here!
-What does the Life Coach do?
The Academic Life coach at Next Generation Zone works with students to help them examine any life or academic concerns and barriers to success. Through one-on-one meetings and life skills classes, the Academic life coach provides students support in areas such as time management, procrastination, test preparation and stress. This coaching is an interactive process that empowers students to get from where they are now to where they want to be.
-How can I make an appointment with the Life Coach?
Appointments with Rachel are available through Zoom. You can schedule one here.
-Where can I get homework packets?
You can request homework packets here!
-How do I get a practice test code?

-How do I schedule a real GED test?
