Sound Learning, a Shelton-based nonprofit focused on adult education, recently announced that it’s been awarded a three-year $150,000 grant from The Harvest Foundation.
The funds will be used to enhance and expand educational opportunities for adults who wish to earn their high school diploma, GEDs, or improve their English-language skills in Mason and Thurston County, according to a release from the nonprofit.
“We are incredibly grateful to The Harvest Foundation for their generous support,” Ava Taylor, interim director of Sound Learning, said in the release. “This funding will allow us to better serve adults in our community who are working hard to build brighter futures for themselves and their families. Investments in education strengthen our entire region.”
In addition to expanding its programs, the foundation also plans to use the funding to advance staff development and training to ensure instructors are up to date with best practices and can provide high-quality support to its students, the release noted.
