Our Unwavering Commitment to Making A Difference Is What Sets Us Apart
15+ Years Of Experience
Making A Change Cincy (M.A.C) began its journey in Cincinnati, OH in 2010, when two compassionate co-workers in social service recognized a calling to empower men in the Hamilton County area. Their first endeavor, “The Father’s Day Picnic and Service,” in collaboration with United Black Men (UBM), proved to be an astounding triumph. Held at the enchanting Roselawn Park, the event united service providers dedicated to supporting families. This resounding success propelled M.A.C to transform into an educational service provider, with a firm focus on nurturing individuals who aspire to excel in healthcare. M.A.C’s unwavering dedication is to provide exemplary healthcare training to the people of Hamilton County and the surrounding areas, igniting a wave of positive transformation.
