College in the Community

Since 1998, Mount Mary College has received funding through grants to establish and support the College in the Community Program. College in the Community consists of partnerships with two community agencies - Milwaukee Achiever Literacy Services and Journey House.

Journey House and Mount Mary serve the near south side Hispanic community. Milwaukee Achievers and Mount Mary serve Milwaukee's near north side African American community.

Classes are taught by Mount Mary, Journey House and Milwaukee Achiever Literacy Services faculty, and are computer-intensive with a strong emphasis on language arts. The college-level coursework provides students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help secure or advance their employment opportunities. Courses are held weeknights and Saturday mornings.
