MCK is committed to giving back to the community in a variety of ways from bringing awareness to childhood cancer, to sustainability efforts, to volunteer opportunities and mentoring our youth.
COMMUNITY
​
MCK has actively hired student interns since 2000 primarily from minority engineering organizations such as National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Minority Engineering Program (MEP) and other groups. We have relationships with San Francisco State, UC Berkeley and UC Irvine. Many of these individuals have gone on to serve in the highest managerial positions in the City and private industry. MCK has actively participated in job fairs and outreach in the Bayview area since 1992. Brendan McDevitt served as an assistant to the late Alex Pitcher, former chair of the local NAACP Chapter. MCK volunteers in the local middle schools, does outreach in the Bayview schools, to encourage students to attend college and other mentoring efforts.
​
MCK has supported Sacramento State's ASC Construction Management Student Competition the last two years and are happy to say the team came in 3rd place in 2022! Additional community involvement includes coaching youth in etiquette, the Life Learning Academy at Treasure Island, Ship Shape Community Center at Treasure Island, 100% College Prep in San Francisco and more. For more information about our community involvement you can reach out to our Community Chair, Carla Thomas (pictured right).
MCK IN THE COMMUNITY
Our own Fernanda Miranda participated in the Summer Youth STEAM Engagement 2024 at Hawthorne-Eucalyptus Elementary, in Southern California in partnership with LAWA and Lea + Elliot INC. LAWA has a large capital improvement project and as result it is a catalyst for community impact as well. This program helped inspire and cultivate the next generation of industry professionals.
