Empowering individuals to achieve their educational dreams.

We’re here to help you open the doors you’ve dreamed of opening.

Since 2010, FinishYourDiploma.org has connected over two million people with free and supportive adult education classes to help them earn their high school diploma.

FinishYourDiploma.org is run by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation in partnership with the Ad Council.

The Dollar General Literacy Foundation was established by Cal Turner and Cal Turner Jr in 1993 to honor Dollar General’s co-founder, JL. Turner, who was a farmer’s son with only a third-grade education.
