About this opportunity
The AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparents Program seeks applicants to provide tutoring and mentoring services for children and youth with special needs through one-on-one attention and reviewing schoolwork. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, tribes, governments, and commissions to serve in schools, Head Starts, drug treatment centers, and childcare centers. Applicants must propose programming focused on early learning or career pathways addressing pandemic-related learning loss. Applications are due February 1, 2024 with 10% matching requirements that may be waived and budgets not exceeding $9,000 per volunteer service year.
Approximately $1.5 million is available for new and replacement grants serving previously unserved or relinquished geographic areas to be awarded in June 2024 for three-year project periods. Funded projects must implement at least one volunteer service activity in the education focus area and report associated performance measures. Services will be performed in schools, Head Starts, drug treatment centers, correctional institutions, and childcare centers.
Synopsis
AmeriCorps improves lives, strengthens communities, and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. AmeriCorps brings people together to tackle some of the country's most pressing challenges through national service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers serve with organizations dedicated to the improvement of communities and those serving. AmeriCorps helps make service a cornerstone of our national culture.
Established in 1965, the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) engages adults aged 55 and over to provide caring and experienced tutors and mentors to children and youth with special or exceptional needs, or who would benefit from the one-one-one attention an AmeriCorps Seniors volunteer can provide. AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers serve in schools, Head Starts, drug treatment centers, correctional institutions, and childcare centers. Among other activities, they review schoolwork, reinforce values, teach parenting skills to young parents, and care for premature infants and children with disabilities. AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers often maintain an ongoing, intensive relationship with the children and youth served for a year or longer.
