“MDI’s unique because they’ve taught us how to be more ‘open’ to other people’s differences and abilities. I’ve even gotten help building my resume and applying for jobs within MDI and outside MDI, all to better myself.”

“Everyone’s working together to make MDI an accepting and supportive place for all. The diversity fosters creativity and new ideas by sharing life experiences different than our own. It encourages us to think in ways that bring people together to create solutions to challenges and opportunities as a team.”
