About us | X-Cel started with a single volunteer and a small GED preparation class located in Roxbury. We have grown to 14 employees and a weekly average of 45 volunteers providing HiSET/GED Prep and College Prep classes at seven Boston locations. In addition, we operate the Boston Opportunity Youth Collaborative Connection Center, a one-stop resource launched in 2015 to connect opportunity youth, ages 20-24, who have a high school credential but are not in school or a career-oriented position, with workforce development and/or college bridging programs. Over the course of one year, we work with more than 300 high school equivalency and college transition students, as well as more than 200 youth seeking improved careers. |
