Metropolitan Ministries

Program Overview

Adult Education instruction is one component of the self-sufficiency services that Metropolitan Ministries (MM) provides for families that are homeless and staying at MM's MiraclePlace Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing in Tampa Bay. Community members and MiraclePlace residents meet with our Education Specialist to establish education goals. For residents needing High School Equivalency, GED instruction is offered on MM's campus Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 4 PM. Program participants receive individualized assistance from a GED Instructor as they work through practice problems and prepare to sit for the GED tests. MM also supports residents and community members seeking to receive their GED by paying for testing fees and supports residents seeking ESL education by paying their course fees at the technical school across the street from our campus, where ESL classes are offered in the evenings.
