MISFITS works with people of all ages, ethnic identities, and socio-economic backgrounds to enhance literacy; reaching out to youth and adults in need of reading, writing and computing skills. The ability to express one's thoughts and feelings in different mediums is a skill that should be nurtured and practiced, no matter what the age. MISFITS realizes that for our children, literacy is the key to a happy, successful future.

Club Expectations                                                                                

In an effort to help insure that MISFITS continues to meet the criteria established by the State of Minnesota for a non profit, the MISFITS Officers have established some minimum club expectations.

Please be aware that these expectations can and will change based upon the needs of the organization and the requirements of the State of Minnesota.

• Recruit new members to the club.
  Are we looking for a "magic number" of new people each year? No. The intent is that the club is making an effort to attract new members.
• Advertise club meetings.
  Just that. Publish something showing your meeting date(s), times(s) and location(s) along with who to contact for questions and how to reach them. This can be done with a simple listing on the MISFITS web site. If you have other sources, those would be fine too. It would be helpful if you included a short description of the club and its activities.
• Attend a minimum of ONE Event meeting and ONE Working meeting per year.
  The person attending the Event/Working meeting can be either the club leader/facilitator or a current club member.
• Volunteer a minimum of ONE hour at the MISFITS room party at CONvergence.
  The volunteer can be either the club leader/facilitator or a current club member. If your club wants to volunteer more than one hour or more than one person, great!!! We would love to see you all at the Room Party.

If you have any questions or concerns about these expectations, please contact one of the MISFITS officers.
