MNA 2017 - Davenport University
 
 
 
As a VISTA with Davenport University, you’ll continue the engagement of youth in Grand Rapids as started by VISTAs before you, as well as building a partnership to bring college readiness to those participating in programs at the Refugee Education Center. You’ll also serve as the Volunteer Coordinator building partnerships that provide service opportunities for Davenport students and staff. In 2014, the Kent County ISD only had 43.9% of its English Language Learners enroll in college. It’s difficult to measure how refugee students fare statistically because they are often lumped into dominant racial and ethnic groups. The VISTA will be instrumental in bringing attention to these numbers and getting the most affected populations the services they need. Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) is a statewide nonprofit organization that serves its nonprofit members to advance their missions. MNA's vision is that Michigan's nonprofit sector be a vital leader in building and sustaining thriving communities, and MNA believes that active, engaged volunteers are imperative.
