staff testimonials
Just look at how many former employees stay engaged and come back as volunteers, board members, and donors. That tells you how great of an experience it is to work at MMAC.
Absolutely, I would return to work for Metro in the future! Everyone, from the students to the faculty, was compassionate and supportive. Whenever I had a question, the Metro staff were ready to help. In addition, the students were kind, respectful, and motivated. They were so excited and fun to teach!
MMAC is a special place with truly good people who care about the mission and each other. The support I received from the team and the Executive Director when my family was in crisis shows just how much MMAC respects and values each employee and their families.
My Midtown middle school program director believed in me even when I didn’t care, and motivated me to get into a better high school and college. I am excited to be able to help more kids like me as a member of the staff, and hope to be able to impact another student in the same way.
