Emily Jahn

Emily Jahn assists with a variety of fundraising tasks, including gift processing, donor acknowledgment, data analysis and grant applications. Emily first came to Literacy Minnesota as an AmeriCorps VISTA member in 2014-15. She then worked in foster care at St. David’s Center for Child & Family Development, while staying connected with Literacy Minnesota for temporary part-time fundraising roles. In 2022, she transitioned to a full-time position and has assisted with Volunteer Outreach and the Adult Literacy Hotline, in addition to her current role as Mission Advancement Associate. Emily’s favorite thing about Literacy Minnesota is our philosophy of lifelong learning and growth.

Emily has a BA in Elementary Education from the University of Iowa. Outside of work, Emily enjoys spending time with friends and family, especially her niece who always keeps her busy running from imaginary monsters, dancing, building forts, etc. 😊 One of Emily’s strongest passions (AKA obsessions) is her adorable cats! She also enjoys the outdoors, reading and music.
