Andy Francis

Andy came to Literacy Minnesota after four years of teaching English to Buddhist monks in India. He served two years as a Literacy Leadership AmeriCorps VISTA member with Literacy Minnesota's Volunteer Outreach and Training departments to develop systems and trainings that support learners and volunteers with disabilities at Adult Basic Education programs across Minnesota. The goal of the project was to provide accessible, inclusive and equitable learning and working environments for everyone to access and get involved with literacy. Outside of national service, Andy also worked toward his masters degree in TESOL.
