Michigan Education Corps

Michigan Education Corps seeks to close the achievement gap in literacy and math for students age 3 through 8th grade.

• About Us
  56% of Michigan third grade students are failing to reach basic levels of literacy while 58% of 4th graders are not proficient in mathematics. We exist so that all children will have the opportunuity to be proficient readers by third grade and algebra ready by 9th grade. Students in our programs receive 1:1 tutoring for K-3 reading and 1:2 tutoring for math in their own school, five days per week, over the course of the school year. We isolate each child's challenges and create a tutoring schedule to help them catch up to their peers. To get students back on track, we utilize AmeriCorps members - individuals on the front lines of our work. These interventionists aren't just tutors, they become role models and trustworthy friends.
• Our Impact
  Michigan Education Corps has served over 8,000 students and up to 90% of students receiving MEC services grow faster than grade level targets.
