Founded by an Educator Who Helped Young People Earn Their GED in Juvenile Hall

Randy Morales spent more than 20 years in career colleges and Career Technical Education. He then worked at Central Juvenile Hall, where he helped young people prepare for and pass the GED. He saw how much it matters to have someone in your corner. Open Door Scholars exists so people coming home have that.
