About us
Mackida LoVeal Outreach Ministry, begin in 1997 with having a love for children and realizing that there was a great need for quality child care and educational programs for our inner city youth that were struggling and expelled from traditional schools. We focus on dropout prevention by giving at-risk youth a second chance in a healthy learning environment, where their scholastic abilities can be fed and encouraged to flourish to their highest and best potential. Over the past twenty years, our staff has helped hundreds of students improve their study habits, comprehension, and test-taking skills. As a result, these students have earned better test scores and grades, and grown in self-esteem and confidence.
In 2012 our ministry joined with TRIP Mentoring to provide a holistic program for our community. TRIP Mentoring was established in 2002 with the goal of teaching today’s youth how to be Trustworthy, Respectful, Independent, People. Believing that teaching these core values will provide them with skills to become productive independent citizens. Collaborating with TRIP mentoring has allowed us to provide our Scholars with skilled life coaches during high crime evening hours. We know our students are being prepared to deal with adversity and the difficulties that life sometimes presents
Testimonials
"I was impressed with the wide variety of classes offered at the Mackida LoVeal & Trip Outreach Center. My son went from being kicked out of school, to being prepared to graduate. I'm glad a friend recommended this."

"i was always challenged in school when it came to taking tests. Everything else clicked, but I had terrible tests scores. I took a few test preparations classes and my scores have really improved. Thanks for working with me."
