Houston, TX - Bridge Digital Academy VISTA Project (LitMN)
 
 
 
Houston’s first “Bridge Digital Academy” VISTA project is designed to support and build capacity to provide opportunities to low-income individuals to obtain digital literacy certification, workforce training, and skills that will meet the needs of employers and families, with potential increases in employment opportunities. VISTA members make a yearlong, full-time commitment to serve on a specific part of the project through the nation’s only active Mayor's Office for Adult Literacy (MOAL), Houston Community College (one of the top 20 community colleges in the state), the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation, and adult literacy providers across the Greater Houston Area. Members focus their efforts to build the organizational, administrative, and financial capacity of their organization.
