Metanoia has a full and permanent part-time staff of 16. Of these, six live in our neighborhood. By choosing to live here, the staff is closer to the families in the community. And in turn, we are better able to create the programs that citizens living in our community have a true voice in designing and helping to succeed. 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.
