MNA 2017 - Capital Area College Access Network
 
 
 
As a VISTA with the Capital Area College Access Network, you’ll help support the College Advising Corps in 8 Lansing high schools to develop programs, events, and materials that promote a college-going culture. You’ll also be instrumental in engaging mentors, volunteers, parents, and students in creating that culture in their schools, organizations, and the community in general. Low-income students, particularly first generation and students of color, have historically lower graduation and college enrollment rates. The VISTA will be vital in the work of CapCAN to improve the post-secondary attainment rate from 47% to 60% by 2025. 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.
