MNA 2017 - Read Muskegon
 
 
 
As a VISTA with Read Muskegon, you will assist in the establishment of a community-based literacy center that will train volunteers and administer programs to work with hundreds of adults and children in the Muskegon area. The position will also involve outreach to faith-based groups, local clubs, and businesses to find both volunteers and learners. Over 21,000 adults in Muskegon County are identified as having critical literacy deficits. In 2014, 47.5% of the learners at Read Muskegon read below the 4th grade level, while 20% were below the 1st grade level. The VISTA will be an influential part in lowering these numbers that affect the community both economically and educationally. 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.
