Youth & Education
Investing in the next generation
MPCDC is committed to uplifting youth through education, mentorship, and enrichment. The Weekend Enrichment Academy is a Saturday-based academic enrichment program serving students in grades 1–12 across Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties.
The Academy provides structured academic instruction and culturally responsive learning aligned with Virginia standards in math, English, science, arts, SAT preparation, and Black history. The Spring 2026 pilot semester will operate on Saturdays at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church campus.
Families are invited to attend an upcoming open house to learn more about the program structure, curriculum, schedule, and registration process.
Learn more about the open houses and how to join.
