Margaret Donnelly O'Connor Education Center

Margaret Donnelly O'Connor Education Center We provide educational and social services to the children of Ethel R. Lawrence Homes located in Mount Laurel, NJ.

We serve as an affordable housing townhome development, and strive to support the students and families living within our community. The Margaret Donnelly O’Connor Education Center at Ethel R. Lawrence Homes provides a safe, positive, nurturing environment where our resident children can receive individual academic assistance and social support from qualified individuals at no cost to the family.

In partnership with the Mount Laurel school system, parents and the local community, the Education Center staff helps students hone the skills they need to thrive academically. The center facilitates two primary educational programs: an after-school homework club and a full-time summer enrichment program. One-on-one tutoring is provided for older students. The Education Center also offers educational, developmental, and parent workshops and events to promote literacy development, school-to-home communications, community cohesiveness and cooperation, and healthy lifestyle choices. The program is staffed by a full-time education director, a full-time social services coordinator, a Jesuit Volunteer youth coordinator, and various teen mentors from local volunteer organizations.
