And here’s an update on the St. John Learning Center’s other classes this summer… 

Thanks to the Catholic Times for a wonderful article about the St. John Community Center

The Catholic Times has a great article in the July 19th edition about all the service that goes on in the St. John Community Center. It both highlights all the social services in the community center and talks about our fundraising campaign for repairs. Thanks to the Catholic Times for running it!  

Here’s the GoFundMe page it mentions:

St. John Learning Center On Site Classes Postponed Until August

The on site computer classes and open lab that were to start again next week have now been postponed until August due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Columbus.  The new flyer is below.  Please help us spread the word.  Many of the summer classes will be taught on Zoom, so there is still a lot to participate in.  

St. John Learning Center Classes are Back

The St. John Learning Center is in the process of re-opening with some in person classes (mainly the computer classes) and lots of online classes (on Zoom).

See our new flyer (below) for information about our G.E.D. classes, computer classes, health classes, and Start Your Own Business workshop series.
