Michigan Literacy Corps

Through a new and strategic effort to combat childhood illiteracy in our state, Michigan Reading Corps (MiRC) places AmeriCorps Literacy Specialists in elementary schools throughout Michigan. MiRC serves students in grades K-3 who are identified as being at-risk of reading failure. MiRC leverages the power of community service to improve reading levels and strengthen educational systems in local communities. As a local affliate of the Minnesota Reading Corps (MnRC), this program builds on MnRC’s demonstrated impact on students, schools, AmeriCorps members and communities
