Empowering Adults, Enriching Lives: Building pathways to literacy, opportunity, and stability since 1966.
Guadalupe Center’s legacy program, Adult Education, began in 1966 to teach the English language to adult immigrants in Salt Lake City. Today, it stands as the #1 Adult Education program in Utah, offering year-round, free instruction that empowers adult immigrants and refugees to achieve literacy and gain essential skills. Our mission is to foster lifelong learning and economic security by removing barriers to education and creating opportunities for all.
