Since 2002 MCS has worked to enhance the capacity of a cohort of after-school agencies providing services to lower income Boston youth. With funding from the Balfour Foundation and the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, MCS has begun to provide focused services to a cluster of after-school agencies.
• The Balfour Foundation's contribution as part of the Boston for All After-School Partnership is targeted to organizations in the faith-based community that provide services to lower income Boston youth.
• The generouse support of the Nellie Mae Education Foundation has enabled MCS to enhance the capacity of eight after-school agencies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Our program includes a combination of individualized technical assistance, peer networking, and collaborative learning workshops and seminars. The ultimate objective is to assist organizations to strengthen their capacities in order to achieve higher program-related outcomes.
