Monica Schurg – Program Coordinator
With a strong desire to help students find their path to success, Monica joined our team in October, 2024, as a Program Assistant and now is a Program Coordinator. Monica executes our student data entry process, the student/mentor matching process for our Years 2-3 and Years 4-7 programs, and is a match manager for our Years 2-3 students.
Prior to joining the Winning Futures team, Monica worked as a college and career advisor for the Michigan State University College Advising Corps. She worked with students to develop post-secondary plans and helped to break down barriers standing in the way of their success.
“Growing up I felt like obtaining a good education and career was almost impossible,” said Monica. “I was a first-generation, low-income student with little familial support. Without the support of school-based programs, I feel I would’ve never believed in myself, which is why I believe strongly in the Winning Futures mission.”
Monica grew up in Hazel Park, MI and studied Animal Science at Michigan State University. She lives with her husband, Zach, in Hazle Park. In her free time, she enjoys reading, crocheting, cuddling with her cat, Kiwi, and playing video games with friends.
