Everything Comes Full Circle: MMA Cadets Give Back
Community service is a core value at MMA.
Each year, every MMA high school cadet contributes 16 hours and every middle school cadet contributes 8 hours of community service to the local community. Not only does this service provide an opportunity to give back to those who invest in us, it also promotes values of honor, integrity and selfless service.
Currently, MMA cadets give back by cleaning up parks, spending time with kids and veterans, working with food-share programs like the Central Missouri Food Bank and Buddy Pack Program, and more.
