Multi-Media Training Institute

Established in 1982, Multi-Media Training Institute (MMTI) is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit community-based organization located in the District of Columbia’s Ward 7 MMTI was founded by Lyn Dyson to engage and inspire youth and young adults to realize and achieve their full potential.
