Community Services/Non-Profits in Upper Marlboro, MD

“My son takes TUKKONG MUDO classes her with Grand Master Bruce Goodwin and Master Gholson and words are not enough to express the valueble knowledge they are teaching these kids to be bully proof in school, learn discipljne and most of all SELF confiden. This is hidden gem in PG County and this style of martial arts nothing you are going to find anywhere else. We attended a different school for 1 year and my son has gained more confidence, skills and discipline in the 6 mo he's been in this class vs the school he came from.

Everything is EARNED in this class…….NOT given and I love it!”

“My son David has been attending the Arc for years and has developed very well throughout there services. Him and I both are grateful ? everyone are kind and compassionate.
Thank you very much ?,

“Networking With Purpose at PGCOC Coffee Connections

Today was an amazing day. I had the opportunity to network at PGCOC Coffee Connections at Melwood on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 9:00 AM. The event was held at the Melwood Copus Training Center located at 5620 Dower House Road in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
