WHO MAKES METCO WORK? ALL OF US.

METCO has always depended on volunteers and supporters to thrive. If you live in a METCO town, you can make your schools more inclusive and welcoming. If you’re an alum, give back and share your unique knowledge. If you’re a leader in business, government, or the community, help build a stronger METCO and more equitable education for decades to come.
