His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios,  Spiritual Leader
​His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios is the spiritual leader of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston.

Costa Vergados,  Program Director​
As a recent graduate of UMass Amherst, Costa is ready to bring the same enthusiasm and wonder to the MBC program that UMass Amherst brings to their dining program, which happens to have been rated number one in dining by the Princeton Review for the past 4 years in a row. His favorite animal is the humpback whale and one of his many role models is Laskarina Bouboulina, a Greek revolution hero. There is a special place reserved in Costa’s heart for olive oil, Market Basket, and youth ministries, which he proudly shares with MBC every year. Get ready for an MBC experience like no other, because this summer will be a summer to remember! #MBC2020

Jaclyn Zois,  Office Administrator
MBC has always been a home away from home for Jackie and she can’t wait to return for her eighth year on staff! She graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2017 and completed her M.S. in Medical Sciences at Boston University’s School of Medicine in 2019. She is looking forward to starting medical school this fall and getting closer to her dream of becoming a pediatric specialist. Jackie never goes anywhere with out her backpack, and has a special place in her heart for elephants, the outdoors, cheese, and quality colored pens. She’s full of mediocre sports ability, gimp skills to be reckoned with, and energy levels surprisingly large for someone her size. Jackie is excited for year two in the office and can't wait to engage in all of the fun, fellowship, and shenanigans at MBC!
