CMAC, one of Fresno Unified’s many industry partners, is a membership-based, non-profit organization created to help citizens, schools, non-profits and public agencies better connect with community through the use of media. Its mission is to empower voices in the community to promote awareness, understanding, dialogue, and civic engagement by providing media resources and access to training through broadening media literacy. Thank you CMAC!
