Tutors work with residents at Mercy Home's Boys campus (West Loop) or Girls campus (Beverly). A tutor is assigned to one resident of middle school or high school age and provides youth with consistency, focus and an appreciation for education. Tutors help our kids stay on task with homework and assist in developing good study skills.
Study sessions take place Monday through Thursday evenings, and volunteers can select which night is most convenient. Tutors must be 18 years of age. The term of service is one hour per week for the school year. Training and support are provided.

Mission Statement
Mercy Home offers youth who seek a new beginning hope and promise of a healthy and successful future, safety, respect and opportunities for growth.
Description
Mercy Home for Boys and Girls provides hurting, abandoned, and neglected youth with the resources they have lacked: a safe place to live, clothing, education, medical care, and counseling. Mercy's youth also receive valuable life skills to prepare them to one day live independently, to find and keep gainful employment, to attend college in many cases, and to develop healthy relationships. Mercy Home also has a prevention program: The Friends First mentoring program, which matches trained adult volunteer mentors with at-risk children for one year.
