Dollar General Literacy Foundation and
the Ad Council today
announced a new phase of their ongoing Finish Your Diploma
campaign, which reminds adults that it is never too late to fulfill their
academic goals and get their high school diploma, through new creative
developed by Facebook
Creative Shop.
The
stories highlight several individuals' journeys and motivations to earn their
diploma as an adult while emphasizing the goal of getting a high school
equivalency is attainable with hard work and dedication. Individuals interested
in for free classes or more inspiring stories are encouraged to visit FinishYourDiploma.org as the first
step.
"As
adults consider finishing their diploma, often the greatest challenge is simply
knowing where to go for support and having the courage to take the first step
towards completing their diploma," said Denine Torr, executive director of
the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. "By coupling real stories with
information about free local adult education classes and resources, we hope the
new PSAs will inspire and empower individuals to pursue their dreams through
education."
Since March 2020, unemployment among adults with less than a high school diploma has nearly doubled and spiked in April at a 21.2% unemployment rate. Adults looking to start or continue working toward their high school equivalency can use a zip code search on FinishYourDiploma.org to find free adult education classes near them and attend classes, via remote, in-person or hybrid education models.
