The MCCS 10-4-2 Campaign It only takes $10 to give 2 children a Multicultural experience. The Multicultural Center of the South needs your help to expand the Center’s Community Outreach Programs for Children. The Outreach Programs for Children provide exposure to the arts and customs of diverse cultures. Children learn about different cultures through hands-on participation in the multicultural educational programs. Our campaign goal is to have more families and organizations in low and moderate income neighborhoods participate in the MCCS Outreach Programs. For $10.00 two children can participate in a multicultural hands-on activity with an arts and crafts project take away. Read more about MCCS's Children's Programs...
