MCN and AmeriCorps VISTAs
As an intermediary for the AmeriCorps VISTA program, MCN manages VISTA members assigned to different projects within the community aimed at fighting poverty and investing in individuals, families, and the community.
VISTA members commit to serve full-time for a year at nonprofits that strengthen, inform, and connect with immigrant and refugee communities and communities of color. With passion, commitment, and hard work, VISTAs create or expand programs to build the capacity of these critical organizations in our community.
