METCO relies on state funding, requiring advocacy and approval from the state legislature. It is essential to advocate for this funding to both maintain and enhance the impact of METCO’s programs. Become an advocate and ensure that METCO’s school integration impact continues!

We have four legislative champions at the State legislature to ensure our funding year after year. We are so grateful for their support.
