The Manchester Community Action Coalition(MCAC) is a grassroots organizing, community engagement and peer support work with marginalized community members in the Manchester community. A predominantly Black and People of Color-led organization, we are providing critical support to our most impacted residents to empower families, boys and girls of color in their academic success, leadership and pathways for meaningful community engagement to support most impacted residents in creating solutions that meet their needs and receive peer support from others. Our vision is that people of color in Manchester, particularly our BIPOC youth and families, will have equal opportunity and representation in community and civic matters. Over time, we hope that communities of color will experience stronger family ties, children will be encouraged to achieve/ succeed, and families of color will have equal social and economic opportunities.

Boys & Girls Club of Manchester strongly support the efforts of Manchester Proud. Manchester’s schools are our shared responsibility as a community. Manchester Proud is our city’s first truly community-wide movement to engage us all in creating a vision of what we want our kids to know and be able to do, then, guided by that vision, designing a plan for what our schools should be. We’re proud to be strong supporters!
