Our Women鈥檚 program provides adult basic education courses, GED preparation and college-and-career readiness training. Since 2009, 96% of women who completed MEP鈥檚 GED program passed the GED. Nearly 80% of our GED graduates go on to higher education, specialized job training and/or gainful employment.

Our Girls鈥 program offers one-on-one academic tutoring, college-and-career readiness workshops, ACT/SAT test preparation, robotics leagues, college campus tours, and STEAM enrichment activities. Annually, 100% of our high school seniors are accepted to one or more colleges of their choosing!

MEP is committed to fighting entrenched gender, racial, and economic inequities in Detroit. With your help, we can continue to show girls and women in our community that they deserve and have the ability to follow their dreams and change their worlds.
