Description of the program:

ACCESS is a program that provides English language lessons after school hours. The program is designed for 13-18-year-old students in Georgia, especially those who live in socially and economically disadvantaged families. The program aims to make English language learning more accessible and to develop leadership and other necessary skills and competencies in participants.

The program aims to make English language learning accessible to adolescents from socially vulnerable and economically disadvantaged families. In addition to learning English, children will also learn American culture and customs and develop leadership skills.

The ACCESS program was implemented in Kutaisi for 4 years, and since 2024 it has been continuing in Baghdad..

The ACCESS program in Baghdati Municipality is hosted by Game Zone, a youth center established in 2020.
