MLC was founded in 1987 on the premise that one of the best ways to help entire 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. The Center's mission is to provide basic literacy and life skills training to low-income women using a holistic approach within a compassionate, supportive environment. All women are welcome without regard for race, religion, color, creed, sexual orientation or national origin. MLC provides a range of flexible learning opportunities for women, including part-time tutoring, full-time classroom instruction, technology education, employment and life skills training, family literacy programs and enrichment. Holistic support services including social services, counseling, childcare, and food assistance are available to all program participants. All programs and services are free. The goal of the center is to educate and empower women so that they can improve their lives and the lives of their families by being able to communicate well (i.e., speak English fluently), obtain a high school diploma, get a job or a better paying job, go to college if desired and become a contributing member of the community.
