Moonshot Community Action Network

We know that schools can't do it alone, and that it will take our entire community to reach our Moonshot Moment goal for children to be ready for kindergarten and 90% reading on grade-level by the end of third grade.

Our Moonshot Community Action Network (MCAN, pronounced em-Can) is comprised of dedicated community leaders who are working together to make Indian River County a leading literacy capital of the nation. We invite you to please join us on this Moonshot journey!
