Civic Engagement

Civic Engagement is our overarching vision. Below are strands on how we fulfill our mission of building pathways to engagement – that is, fostering the sense of community and building one’s self-confidence in the diverse daily life of our city. Everyone, regardless of their background, is part of and contributing to the city’s success and MCS provides the services and stepping stones to help every individual reach their potential. Whether it’s workforce training for employment through our certification programs, advocating for access, or providing organizations with the tools needed to support multi-lingual employees, MCS aims to facilitate broad and inclusive engagement.
