For students in underserved communities, education can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. But at Math Corps, a six-week summer program is proving that with the right support, students can not only excel in math but also discover their self-worth, potential, and a true sense of belonging.
Thanks to the generosity of Oakland Hills Country Club, Pine Lake Country Club, and Red Run Golf Club, over 400 middle and high school students from Detroit had the opportunity to participate in Math Corps’ 2024 summer program – an experience designed to empower, inspire, and transform lives.
Founded by two Wayne State University mathematicians with a vision of equity and opportunity, Math Corps is far more than a math camp. It’s a place where students are mentored, encouraged, and celebrated. In just six weeks, students saw remarkable academic growth, increasing their math scores by an average of 56%. But the numbers only tell part of the story.
"When nobody in your family cares about you, but everyone here cares about you, you change."

At Math Corps, students aren’t just learning equations – they’re discovering their greatness and gaining the confidence to build bright futures. Eagles for Children is proud to support this life-changing program and the mission to create a more just and hopeful world for all.
