Mel King Institute grows and thrives

Growing and thriving
 
MACDC and its partners launched The Mel King Institute for Community Building in 2009 to foster vibrant and thriving Massachusetts communities. This is done by advancing the skills, knowledge and leadership abilities of professional practitioners and volunteer leaders in the community development field. The Institute enables Community Development Corporations and their partners to build more homes, create more jobs, grow more businesses, nurture more community leaders, and pursue more comprehensive community building strategies that also address issues such as transportation, public safety, green space development, workforce development and youth development.
