ALUMNI FEEDBACK
MICA is a private, non-profit agency that delivers programs and services to income-eligible families. This organization often is in need of multiple Spanish translators in order to communicate with the families of children in Head Start programs in Grinnell -in the classroom, at monthly home-visits and during family nights.
MICA employees typically pick up interested students from their dorm rooms and provide transportation to and from these locations.
