Meet this week’s featured organization, the Mystic Learning Center (MLC). The mission of MLC is to improve the lives of low-income children and families who live at the Mystic Public Housing Development and surrounding communities.  MLC offers year round educational and recreational activities for youth ages 5 to 19 during after-school, evenings, school-year and summer vacations.

Every dollar donated to MLC through the GivingTuesday program will be used for after-school, school vacation and summer vacation slots for children between the ages of 5 and 12. The cost for one child after-school slot is $18.22 a day, and the cost for one child for a full day of vacation/summer camp is $34.00. In other words, your donation goes a long way! Give today.
