The Girl's Program provides one-to-one remedial tutoring in reading and math for up to 90 girls in grades 1 through 8 in Southwest Detroit. Tutors include working professionals, college students, and certified and retired teachers.

Girls receive assistance with reading and math skills, homework, computer literacy, creative expression, and appropriate social interaction. Those who join our tutoring sessions are often 2 or more years behind grade level in reading and/or math, live in single parent families, and have many household responsibilities.

M.E.P. strives to provide a supportive environment that reinforces effort and encourages success.

The Rise N Shine Summer Enrichment Program is co-sponsored by Mercy Education Project and Alternatives for Girls. The program presents a rich myriad of opportunities for up to 50 girls each year. Academic tutoring in financial literacy, math, and reading is provided by certified teachers. Volunteer professionals and staff teach classes in: dance, art, sculpture, drama, mask making, gymnastics, sign language, gardening, creative writing, ceramics, photography and more. Girls go on field trips and do a community service project. The program presents an artistic and educational avenue to the girls, allowing them to explore their creativity and broaden their perspectives.
