MMA cadets contribute roughly 8,000 hours of community service hours annually. Selfless service is one of MMA’s core values. An important component of cadets’ 360° Education at MMA, community service provides and early understanding of philanthropy and a sense of direction. It promotes empowerment, self-worth and empathy, and it develops social, emotional and physical skills.

Each year, every MMA high school cadet contributes 16 hours and every middle school cadet contributes eight 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, but it also promotes values of honor, integrity and selfless service.
Cadets Fuller, Bataa and Batzaya (pictured) conducted a piano recital for the residents of the Missouri Veterans Home. MMA instructor Stephen Maziarz also played the piano during the visit, accompanying for "Happy Birthday" for a small group of veterans who recently celebrated birthdays — one of whom was 101 on the day of their visit.
