The Covenant Project was founded on the belief that every child deserves the best education possible. Project staff and volunteers work with at-risk youth in grades 7-12 to help them overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching their academic potential. Both parents and students in the Maple Heights School District have found help from the Covenant Project when dealing with problems that negatively impact school attendance, student behavior (in and out of school) and educational achievement.

The Lutheran Church of the Covenant is a partner in the Covenant Project. Members of The Lutheran Church of the Covenant support this project with pledges above their regular donations to the church. Members also serve as program board members, tutors and supervisors for youth who perform community services.

The Covenant Project receives referrals of students from teachers, Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court and the Community Diversion program. The Project Coordinator meets with families of students to assess needs beyond the classroom and works with teachers on a plan to improve their academic performance. Students receive tutoring and other support by staff and Covenant volunteers until they obtain an adequate level of proficiency in a given subject area.
