MNA 2017 - Alcona Community Schools
 
 
 
As a VISTA with Alcona Community Schools, you’ll work with Alpena Community College students and faculty, as well as local community members, to create a college-going culture in the community and the district. In this position you would be expected to organize college fairs and visits, create resources to encourage SAT/PSAT prep, and encourage students to attend tutoring. You’ll be in a leadership position, working to engage community stakeholders in the importance of creating a long-term, college-going atmosphere. Only 13.2% of Alcona County residents have earned a Bachelor’s degree, while the unemployment rate is 14%. Meanwhile, 60% of Alcona Community Schools’ student population qualifies for free lunch. This is a community in need of a VISTA willing to tackle these statistics and to create pathways out of poverty.
