Our Programs
Our goal is to equip inner-city youth with the tools to be successful in life. Since 2001, we’ve served PK–12 students with programs that inspire purpose, leadership, and achievement—rooted in faith, hope, love, and charity.
From tutoring and mentorship to the award-winning St. Joe Stixx Drumline and student-run businesses, MCE empowers young people to grow academically, creatively, and emotionally.
