TestimonialsGrowing up as a young Black man in Boston, METCO gave me the wings I needed to fly, to see beyond what I know and discover new paths. METCO became a key opportunity.
— Brian Worrell, City Council and METCO Alum
It was an easy transition from high school to college because I was in METCO, I was already used to being in a diverse environment.
— Lia, METCO Alum
During my medical school years, internship, fellowship, and residency, I was one of the only Black people amongst my peers. But I was used to it; METCO had prepared me and it wasn’t a problem because over time I realized I’d earned it, all of it.
— Michael Kenned, M.D.
