Since its founding in 1966, METCO has been a national model for voluntary school integration, expanding educational opportunities, increasing diversity, and reducing racial isolation in suburban public schools.
This fundraiser will support the next chapter of the METCO program, raising critical resources to expand academic, socio‑emotional, community, connectivity, and alumni initiatives.
