Melanie Washington, a U.S. Presidential award winning recipient, founded MATFA with the goal of providing a chance for troubled youth to succeed in life.
MATFA has assisted hundreds in turning their life around and becoming an asset to the community rather than a threat.
MATFA is always looking for mentors, from all walks of life and experiences, to support the mission that Melanie set out for the organization. Contact us to support this noble mission.
