The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) sponsors VISTA projects in organizations throughout the State to empower low-income communities with support to underserved youth to succeed in school and careers. There are opportunities to serve in mentoring, education, health, and economic development organizations that support initiatives in education; youth voice; nutritional education; environmental issues; assisting families with access to health resources, and more.
