I've been volunteering as a tutor/teacher with MEP on and off since 2007. It is an outstanding charity that makes a very real difference for the women and girls they help. What is so important and impressive about this organization is the energy they spend on each individual student; they make sure that her needs are being met as she goes through the program and does not get left behind. I volunteer with the Women's Program whenever I can because I feel like I help them make a difference in people's lives each and every day. The women in the program are amazing. They work so hard for the goals they have set for themselves; they are truly inspiring. And the sense of community and camaraderie throughout Mercy Ed is contagious!

Mercy Education Project provides a supportive environment for the women and girls who participate in its programs. When you walk through the door at MEP you sense the inviting and calm atmosphere that allows its students to blossom in ways they may not have experienced before. The staff members constantly look for ways to improve their programs and services to better meet the needs of the women and girls of Southwest Detroit.

The Mercy Education Project is both an academic and emotional support hub. The most effective nonprofit I’ve been associated with. It matches the right curriculum with the right student and the right tutor so the girls really improve each year—and the girls grow to love reading or math instead of hating it. The students speak of MEP in such loving words, they must be gaining the student's trust as well as their admiration.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the words of the graduates and the girls who have moved up in reading and math levels. I have heard parent participants say they can now help their children stay in school by helping them with their homework. Many have said they long to go to college.

Mercy Education Project is a great organization making a difference in Southwest Detroit. I teach a math class for women studying to get their GEDs, and it's incredible to see the strides they're capable of making when they get the attention and small-group help that MEP offers. I also work with the girls in after-school tutoring, sweet and intelligent young ladies who all advance at least one grade level each year while at MEP.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
In one school year, watching women for from struggling with place value to doing ratios and proportion word problems.

Mercy Education Project is a wonderful organization that creates personalized programs to meet the educational needs of low-income girls and women. Their staff are terrific and very committed to those they serve and to the southwest Detroit community. They are very well-managed and operate on a lean budget where every dollar matters. It's a privilege to support this group!

Mercy Education Project (MEP) provides valuable services to women in Detroit. The education system does not always serve students well, and organizations that supplement and enhance the system are much needed. I have seen MEP grow over the years and become an essential part of the fabric of Southwest Detroit and the city overall. Additional resources can help MEP successfully reach even more women who need their programs.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
living in the neighborhood and hearing from staff members on the variety of success stories. I also have had brief contact with graduates who clearly hold MEP in high esteem.

I have been a volunteer for almost six years. I have helped the development director raise money to support the program. For the last several years I have been the chairperson of an auction for their annual dinner. I am committed to helping Mercy Education Project because I have heard first hand the women tell their "stories" of their accomplishments. The majority of the women receive their GED because of their commitment to the program and because of the caring teachers, staff and volunteers.

Mercy Education Project truly makes a difference to the women and girls of Detroit. It offers them a much brighter future than they would have without the added educational benefits they receive at MEP. They have a very well organized program with experienced and talented staff and volunteers. The students are enthusiastic learners and upbeat about their future.
