Who We Are

DeNeuville Learning Center's mission is to assist women of all backgrounds and cultures in learning the skills needed to make positive choices for themselves and their families.

Women come to DeNeuville from over 20 different countries as well as citizens of our own city. DeNeuville prides itself on meeting the needs of the women wherever they are in their life and educational journey. Some have never attended school even in their own countries, while other native Memphians may have been in school through the ninth or tenth grade but have very low reading and math scores. Many other programs will not accept adults who are starting at these basic levels. DeNeuville serves over 230 women and 100 children annually.

The services offered at DeNeuville are part of a comprehensive, holistic approach that focuses on educational, social, emotional, spiritual and economical needs of the women we serve. The program encourages women to participate in a learning environment that allows them to work at their own pace, address obstacles to learning, identify their full potential and celebrate their accomplishments.

DeNeuville is blessed to have trained teachers and volunteers to work with women to achieve their life and educational goals.
