Metanoia has a full and permanent part-time staff of 15. Of these, six live in our neighborhood making them closer to families and citizens in the community. In turn, we are better able to create programs that citizens living in our community have a true voice in designing and sustaining for future generations. Our staff further reflects a sense of commitment to Metanoia’s mission as more than half the staff has worked here for five or more years.
