Mission Statement

MLC was founded in 1987 on the premise that one of the best ways to help families overcome poverty and succeed is to
educate women and mothers. Rooted in this multigenerational approach, the motto of Mercy Learning Center is "Educate a woman… Educate a family." Since its founding, MLC has educated and empowered over 12,000 women.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories
Jay,a longtime Mercy Learning Center tutor, stated, "The students here are incredibly impressive. They identify their goals; they show up; they do the work; they make no excuses; they have no sense of entitlement. I tell my students: 'You speak English far better than I speak Spanish, Chinese or Arabic.' They laugh. I hope they recognize at least a little bit that we teach each other and learn from each other."
