Our Impact
Art classes and summer programs at MCN are designed with evidence-based tools to support youth caregivers.
Every year, our programs report positive and meaningful outcomes for caregivers, families, and partner organizations.

Every year, we gather feedback from our partners and our students to evaluate three key areas of impact:
Arts, Authorship, and

Building Community
