One of MCDC's objectives is to provide opportunities for community residents to improve their economic status, create wealth, and establish savings programs for first time home ownership, small business development, educational and retirement purposes. MCDC provides tools and information to build, manage, and sustain individual and community wealth.
MCDC offers financial literacy courses geared to specific audiences (e.g. prospective first time home owners, youth, adults, etc.) that enable people to realize their dreams by learning financial skills that help them make informed financial decisions for themselves, their families and their communities.
