Harrison County Community Foundation Awards Lifelong Learning!
The Harrison County Community Foundation recently awarded Harrison County Lifelong Learning for two education initiatives. The first grant received approval in late 2010 and is designed to help Lifelong Learning administer GED/Adult Basic Education classes to the inmates at the Harrison County Justice Center. The awarded funds will help reduce recidivism and
give inmates a chance at a straighter path in life. The second grant award is for technology upgrades in the computer lab. Updated workstations, new software and a server will greatly enhance the programming at Lifelong Learning.
Thank You Harrison County Community Foundation!
