The Girls’ 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 certified teachers, retired
teachers, and trained volunteers.
Girls receive
assistance
with reading, math, homework, computer literacy, creative expression, and
appropriate social interaction. Those who participate in tutoring sessions
are often 2 or more years behind grade level in reading and/or math, live
in single parent families, and have many family responsibilities.
MEP strives to
provide a supportive environment that reinforces effort and encourages
success.
The Emerging Leaders Summer Program offers 30 middle-school-age
girls from southwest Detroit
an early chance to explore college and career choices, develop leadership
skills and benefit from academic enrichment.
The participants
visit colleges and universities.
They will also visit and learn about careers in healthcare,
women-owned businesses, green jobs and other employment options. The program is held four days per
week for four weeks at the University
of Detroit Mercy. There is no charge, and
transportation is provided. An
overnight trip is held during the program. See poems and stories written in the 2009
Emerging Leaders program.
