Strengthening Metro Atlanta Since 1999
STEAMM. Community. Wellness. Education. Metropolitan Community Development brings hands-on programs to families across the Atlanta Metropolitan area.
What does MCD do?
For more than 25 years, Metropolitan Community Development has empowered Atlanta families. What started in 1999 as a group of neighbors responding to housing instability and job readiness has become a multi-program organization advancing Youth Development and Community Engagement across Metro Atlanta.
We do things differently.
Eight pillars. One mission. Each one designed to meet families where they are.
