The Learning Center is a part of Interfaith Coalition that empowers Whatcom County families and children to get out of homelessness. The nonprofit’s Learning Centers, in Bellingham and Ferndale, support stabilization for families while living in Interfaith and Family Promise housing. Tutoring includes K-12th grade, as well as GED prep for parents in Interfaith Coalition’s housing.
