Kansas City's first adult high school, the Excel Center, and retail outlet set to open in March.
Kansas City is set to welcome its first adult high school, the Excel Center, alongside a retail outlet store at the former Homefield Sports Complex. Slated to open in March, this development will provide educational opportunities and job resources to adults in the community, aiming to significantly improve their qualifications and job prospects. With a dedicated space for learning and growth, this initiative will also create jobs and offer support services like onsite childcare, marking a transformative step for the local population.
Big news for Kansas City residents! The bustling city is about to see something exciting happening at the former Homefield Sports Complex. Goodwill of Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas has announced plans to open a brand-new retail outlet store and the first-ever Excel Center for adults! This fantastic development is set to launch in March, and you won’t want to miss it!
After sitting vacant for quite some time, the Homefield Sports Complex is getting a major makeover. The address for this new hub of opportunity is 5000 E. Bannister Rd, Kansas City, MO. Covering a whopping 150,000 square feet, this outlet store is going to offer tons of space filled with incredible finds. The Excel Center will occupy a cozy 20,000 square feet within the facility, setting the stage for a brighter future for many adults in the community.
The brand-new Excel Center aims to give adults aged 21 and over a shot at earning their Missouri high school diplomas and specialized training certificates—absolutely free of charge! This is a game-changer, especially since around 60,000 adults in the Kansas City area currently lack diplomas, which seriously affects their job prospects. With this new initiative, many will finally have the chance to enhance their educational qualifications.
The Excel Center won’t just be a place to study; it’s designed to provide a comfortable environment for those focused on self-improvement. It will offer its very own entrance, spacious classrooms, and even a cozy student lounge where learners can connect and relax. Not to mention, there’s onsite childcare available for little ones aged 6 weeks to 12 years, giving parents the peace of mind they need to focus on their education.
Students at the Excel Center will have a unique opportunity to enroll in classes that offer dual high school and college credit. This means that not only can they work towards their diplomas, but they can also tackle courses that put them on the fast track toward earning associate degrees and specialized career training. Talk about a win-win situation!
The new retail outlet will be your go-to spot for gently used treasures! Shoppers can expect to find everything from clothing for both adults and kids to household goods and furniture, all available at discounted prices sold by the pound. Trust us, your wallet will thank you!
Alongside the mission to educate, this new venture is also poised to create jobs within our community. The retail outlet is expected to bring in approximately 40 jobs, while the Excel Center aims to employ around 20 individuals. With an initial goal of enrolling about 250 students—and an aim to expand to 500 students—the impact of this facility could be monumental!
For those curious to learn more about the Excel Center or the upcoming retail outlet, there’s a wealth of information available! Interested individuals can easily check out Goodwill’s website or reach out to the Chief Mission Officer for additional insights.
In conclusion, this new development isn’t just another store opening; it’s a significant step towards providing educational opportunities and job resources to adults in Kansas City. With such promising initiatives, the future is looking bright for many in the community. So mark your calendars and get ready for a fantastic new chapter in Kansas City!
