Join us for Math Corps Philly 2024 -- See Application Page for more information.
The mission of the Math Corps is to empower and inspire children from under-served communities – through the teaching of mathematics and the fostering of self-worth, strong values and a sense of family – to build good lives for themselves and a more just society for all.
The goal of the Math Corps then, is to ensure that every child, while cared for and supported in the present, goes on to graduate high school, fully prepared to succeed in college or other rewarding endeavor.
Now, what began nearly 30 years ago as a humanitarian effort to simply help some kids in need, has become a nationally recognized program, serving over 400 middle and high school students per year in Detroit and over 1,000 other students in replicated sites in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Utica NY, Ann Arbor MI, and soon in Pontiac, MI and, through Spelman College, in Atlanta.
In 2018, Math Corps created its own 501c3 charitable non-profit organization to guide the expansion of the program, provide business tools and help raise the funds necessary to be nationally sustainable. For more information about Math Corps click here.
