The Outreach Center provides free adult education, GED preparation, learning-skills training, computer literacy, financial literacy, and employment skills education and assistance through the Fresh Start Education Center.

Fresh Start students are varied in age, from teenagers to the elderly. They also vary in abilities, but all are taught in a one on one educational environment. Many lack self-confidence when they first enter the program. According to Fresh Start Director, Jonathan Welborn, "Most of our students have been told that they lack certain educational skills, so they come into our program with low self-confidence and self-esteem." Like the other programs here at The Outreach Center, Fresh Start encourages people and helps them rise above their current level.
