The Friends of the Malden Teen Enrichment Center consists of a voluntary group of individuals who oversee aspects of the Center. This group meets a minimum of four times per year and is responsible for assisting the Centers Coordinator Cathy MacMullin with any issues she may be facing including, raising funds for the Center and managing finances. While the City of Malden is responsible for the rent for the Center premises and salaries for its staff, the Friends of the MTEC raise and manage funds for utilities and maintenance for the center, along with the supplies for the MTEC.
