In 1998, several graduate students in the behavior analysis program at the University of Nevada, Reno founded Fit Learning in a broom closet.  Originally, Center for Advanced Learning, its founders were committed to applying the science of learning for the transformation of mainstream, academic difficulties. Two decades later, Fit Learning’s impact now reaches students across the globe. We are all joined together inside our noble cause of transforming every child who walks through our doors – regardless of age, disability, challenge, or label – such that they acquire the kinds of cognitive and academic skills that will enable them to go forward and make a difference in their own lives. And now, through Empower Youth, the same opportunities can now be provided to youth who would otherwise be unable to receive the life-changing education provided by the Fit Learning method.

The Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra (WACCS) provides services to support women as they work to move out of poverty and improve their lives. Their comprehensive approach includes ESL and GED (HiSet) education, job search and preparation, a free diaper bank, crisis intervention, and information and referrals for any other community service a woman may need to move forward in her life.
