Under the guidance of MCSR's Director of Youth Development, WISE facilitators will contribute to the sustainability and growth of MCSR’s youth development programming.

Direct service through youth development programs is the cornerstone of MCSR's work.

The WISE Club, which launched in 2012, provides a similar space for girls and young women to build empowered versions of womanhood. WISE Club facilitators will serve female youth ages 12-19 at public, charter, private schools and youth serving institutions in the DC metropolitan area
