IT IS A COMMUNITY WHERE A LOW NUMBER OF ENTERING FRESHMAN GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. MANY DON'T PASS ALL ASPECTS OF THE TAKS TEST, A REQUIREMENT FOR GRADUATION. WITHOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE GRADUATES, THERE IS A LACK OF LEADERSHIP. AND WITHOUT LEADERSHIP FROM WITHIN, THERE IS A LIMITED ABILITY TO INTRODUCE MEANINGFUL CHANGE. THE AREA SEEMED DESTINED TO CONTINUE REPEATING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY THAT HAD BEEN PREVALENT FOR GENERATIONS. BELIEVING THAT SUSTAINABLE CHANGE OCCURS WITHIN A COMMUNITY, MERCY STREET SERVES AS A MENTORING PROGRAM THAT BEGAN BUILDING HEALTHY, LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CHILDREN IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH A GOAL OF REACHING EVERY CHILD WITH A MENTOR. MERCY STREET'S MENTORING PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON INSTILLING HOPE THROUGH ENCOURAGING, SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS.
