Literacy Minnesota - VISTA Leader (LitMN)

Follow your passions and find your purpose! We are seeking motivated individuals who are ready to think creatively to help fellow AmeriCorps VISTA members navigate and complete their service. Literacy Minnesota works to build a more equitable society by making quality literacy education available to all. We are a comprehensive literacy resource and provide free classes for adults and children; support literacy organizations through volunteer recruitment, training and teaching tools; and create new pathways for groups and individuals to reach their full potential. Our programs and services are both nationwide and local to the state of Minnesota. We train and place AmeriCorps members nationally through two service opportunities: Literacy Leadership (Literacy for All & Digital Literacy tracks) and Summer Reads. In Literacy Leadership, about 10 members serve for one year behind-the-scenes in nonprofits, public agencies and Tribal Nations throughout Minnesota to create, enhance or expand literacy-focused programs for low-income, or immigrant or refugee children, youth, adults or families. In Summer Reads, about 50 AmeriCorps members serve statewide as K-5 children’s literacy mentors over the summer, bringing literacy to life through fun and enriching activities like arts, drama, story-time, tutoring, recreation, and more. *MUST HAVE completed at least one year of full-time national service (full-time AmeriCorps (1700 hours), VISTA, NCCC or Peace Corps) prior to start. Alternate start dates may be available. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS: Individual professional development funds, monthly trainings, food support, Employee Assistance Program and more. Applications reviewed on rolling basis until positions filled, with priority to applications received BEFORE JUNE 1. Literacy Minnesota fosters an organizational culture that is welcoming and inclusive to all.
