Message from the Executive Director

 

Dear Friends:

Welcome to our newly designed website and to Notre Dame Education Center, “A Place of Hope,” founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. In 2012, Notre Dame Education Center will be embarking on its 20th year of service in the South Boston Community, thanks to you. We have made it thus far through your generosity and selfless giving, you, our major donors, sponsors, benefactors, and volunteers. You have stayed the course with us. We are so appreciative of your efforts to keep “Hope Alive” for our students and their families.

Notre Dame Education Center is a community-based nonprofit that offers Adult Basic Education programs to over 350 adult learners yearly. The Center’s goal has been to provide adult learners and youth with the tools to succeed in school, to compete in the job market, and to achieve financial independence. As we begin our 3 to 5 year strategic plan initiative, we face
the challenges that many nonprofits meet in these struggling economic times. One challenge we have identified is to assure that our staff and students have honed the skills necessary to thrive in this technological arena. Therefore, a goal of the Center’s strategic plan is to improve and upgrade our technology infrastructure and systems which in today’s highly technological world is a must. As one of our students shared with me, “NDEC has given me the skills to apply for a job so that I can take care of my children.” Our hope is to provide the most updated resources in order to continue this good work! We look to you for your continued steadfast support and services.

We are proud of our students and their accomplishments. I invite you to visit us at 200 Old Colony Avenue. Come and See… what energizes and excites us!

With deep appreciation,

Joyce Khoury SND, EdD
Executive Director
