什么是 USAHello 教室, 为什么它是免费的?

USAHello offers a free online classroom to help people succeed in the United States of America. Learn why we offer free classes for refugees and immigrants. Find out who we are and why it is our goal to help newcomers in the USA.

Why are the classes free?

Our classes are free so they can be open to everyone. You do not have to pay because USAHello is a non-profit. A non-profit is an organization that does not make money from the people it helps. People who care about refugees and immigrants give money so the USAHello online classroom can be a free service. USAHello is not connected to any government.

Why must I give you my information?

You do not have to give information about yourself, but you will need to use an email address to enroll. Your email address will be your account name. In your account, you can keep track of the lessons and quizzes you complete. We will send you emails about your progress. If you want us to stop sending you emails, you can tell us.

Will you give me a GED® diploma or citizenship?

Our classes prepare you to take the GED® test and the US citizenship test. Our classes do not give you a GED® diploma or US citizenship. You must go to an official testing center to get your GED® diploma. For citizenship, you must apply to the US government.

The Refugee Center Online is now USAHello. We changed our name to make sure newcomers from all backgrounds feel welcome on our website and in our classroom.

If any website tells you they will give you a GED® diploma or US citizenship, it is not true. It is a bad website. Do not give them money or personal information.
