This Project Grant award from the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management provides $284,227 to Megiddo Dream Station through the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP 94.002). Over three years, approximately 75 senior volunteers will deliver workforce development services including hands-on job and personal skills training, financial literacy classes, tax preparation assistance, and GED preparation to economically disadvantaged individuals. An additional 8-week virtual training program will ensure continuity of services. It is expected that 210 individuals will complete programming by the end of the grant period in March 2024, with 200 obtaining full-time employment. The funding will supplement $8,333 in local support. Through this RSVP grant, senior volunteers will provide critical workforce development and education services to improve economic outcomes for disadvantaged community members.
