Mercy Education Project

Program Overview

Mercy Education Project provides free GED preparation and adult basic education for women, and free educational programming for girls in grades 2-12 including afterschool one-to-one tutoring, STEM programs, college and career readiness, emerging leaders, and a wide range of summer camps.

For women 16 years of age and older, we offer free GED preparation and adult basic education at all levels. Our learning program includes structured classroom instruction, online resources, and individualized support. An initial assessment helps us develop a learning plan for each student. MEP teaches the content and skills, including workforce readiness skills, that students need to succeed. We are not a drop-in program. Consistent attendance is expected. Transportation to/from MEP by van may be available for women living within our service area; bus passes are available for some students outside of this area.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

In the words of one Mercy Education Project adult learner...."I've been here for two years and I have gotten the most out of an educational experience here at Mercy Education, that I have not and could not find at any other adult learning center. They work with you at your own pace and provide lots of extra help...The staff here are very friendly and helpful. I am a mother of six at age 39. Having dropped out of high school when I was in my sophomore year and being a homemaker really opened my eyes to how important education is. They say it's never too late to go back to school and I believe in that. The only regret I have is that I did not find this place a lot sooner."
