About the Charity

The innovative partnership of a nonprofit organization (MCIP) and a school (Columbia Heights Educational Campus) enhances academics with year-round support programs. Many of the campus�s 1700 students face educational hurdles: 80% are �language minority,� and 85% of high schoolers work to sustain themselves or their families. To give them every opportunity for success, MCIP offers an array of services: year-round tutoring, individualized college and career mentoring, comprehensive resources for teen parents and their children, counseling and family strengthening workshops, and college scholarship awards. Through a student-led Community Development Corporation, students develop civic responsibility by engaging in advocacy, service projects, and leadership training. Some 92% of MCIP seniors are on track to graduate, and 85% are accepted into college. When support goes beyond academic achievement, young people are empowered to dream without limits.
