Class Year(s): 2015
Note: Dina Johnson ’15 (CHST) writes: I give all my success to God, my grandparents, and RIT for helping me pave the way to my success thus far! In September of 2020, I founded and became CEO/President of The Monroe County Family Coalition, Inc. In February 2021, we became 501(c)(3). The Monroe County Family Coalition, Inc. (MCFC) is a 503(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed by a group of Monroe County parents, teachers, and counselors in the wake of the Black Families Matter rally held on June 20, 2020, in the Town of Greece, New York. The MCFC seeks to bridge inequality gaps in the community by providing services for underserved youth and families. Some of the services MCFC will be offering in 2021-2023 include, but are not limited to, training workshops, conferences, life skills and career consultations, access to technology, tutoring, exercise, and mental health support. Our mission is to connect local families to community resources and bridge the gap between local government and partnering agencies and at-risk youth and families. I am so thankful for this opportunity to share my success since graduating in 2015.
