MGR is a public 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that engages, motivates, and empowers under-resourced youth to create positive community change. Our vision is a community where under-resourced youth are making positive social, physical, and intellectual choices, ultimately contributing to a productive society.

MGR designs and implements programming in the arts, the environment, and health. These programs are offered during the school day, during out-of-school time, and as community based initiatives. Through these programs, youth become the driving force behind positive community change.

MGR believes that young people possess the power to change their communities. An empowered youth is someone who understands the larger system, retains the skills to tackle the problem, and utilizes opportunities to create real community change. It is MGR’s duty to equip our students with knowledge, skill, and opportunity, and to work with these young leaders as partners and allies.
