I would like to pose a question for the group to see if I can get ideas on how to improve program attendance.  How do you increase adult learner program attendance short of charging (which I'd like to do, but then the learners won't come)?  We offer a program that is for women 18 and above.  We offer a secure environment, free babysitting and transportation.  Really the issue boils down to the fact that learning literacy skills is hard work and many of our students are surviving (some just barely) and the the commitment to learning is too much for them.  We offer self esteem classes and a motivation class.  Does anyone else have suggestions on how to increase motivation and attendance?
 
Thanks,
Shannie
