We assess each student’s needs and goals and then develop an academic program unique to them. A variety of support services are available to all enrolled women and their families, including free childcare and pre-school, a food and diaper pantry, case management, career counseling, citizenship assistance, and more.
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do at Mercy Learning Center. Helping a woman to learn English, advance her education, and meet her life goals is both fulfilling and fun! We hope you’ll consider joining our team of volunteers.
