Our Vision:
The MCC supports building a strong, anti-racist community in which students and families with different life experiences feel a deep sense of inclusion and belonging and recognize, accept, and celebrate each other's differences. We also support the METCO program by activating caregivers to help attain its goals and priorities.
Our Mission:
We will achieve our vision by:
Creating opportunities for Lincoln resident and Boston resident students and caregivers to build authentic and lasting relationships and an equitable exchange of welcoming experiences in both Boston and Lincoln (e.g., opportunities for social connection, after school programming for children, summer camp)
Supporting the school and community in its Anti-racism, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (AIDE) work (e.g., district NCBI training, caregiver education)Advocating and supporting the METCO program at both a State and Local level
Organizing resources (funding, volunteers) in support of the METCO team with their work
Advocating for conditions that will promote a truly integrated public school environment (e.g. inclusive curriculum, vision for integration, etc.)
