Under this grant, Wesley Family Services will engage volunteers aged 55 and older with limited incomes to provide intergenerational volunteer services to disadvantaged and special-needs children. Core services include one-on-one mentoring, tutoring, literacy instruction, and educational support delivered in schools, Head Start programs, childcare centers, and other community settings. Volunteers will commit an average of 20 hours per week and may also provide parenting skills education to young parents and developmental support for children with disabilities. The organization is responsible for maintaining comprehensive financial and program records for three years following submission of the final Federal Financial Report and ensuring all compensated individuals complete National Service Criminal History Checks.
