A Local Success Story

The Mercier Literacy Program is at work in schools and childcare centers in Rochester's poorest neighborhoods. The Mercier Literacy Program offers:

  • Free Saturday school
  • Free summer school
  • Staff workshops at daycare centers

"Our kids have a lack of experiences, not a lack of ability," says School 9 Principal Sharon Jackson. "The Mercier Literacy Program open doors for them."

Every child in our program has shown improved literacy skills and confidence.
