THE FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM OF NW MN (FGP OF NW MN) SPONSORED BY TRI-VALLEY OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL, INC.(TRI-VALLEY) IS COMMITTED TO OPERATING A PROGRAM THAT HELPS MEET THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN BIRTH TO 21, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING MEANINGFUL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADULTS 55 AND OLDER. SINCE 1997 THE FGP OF NW MN HAS SUCCESSFULLY OPERATED THE FG PROGRAM IN 11 COUNTIES (POLK, NORMAN, RED LAKE, LOW, ROSEAU, PENNINGTON, MARSHALL, KITTSON, MAHNOMEN, BECKER AND CLAY), THIS LONG-TERM SUCCESS IS A RESULT OF THE ABILITY TO ASSESS THE NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES THROUGH COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER ENTITIES. THE FG OF NW MN COMPLIES WITH THE CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICES (CNCS) STRATEGIC INITIATIVES, REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES. AN ESTIMATED THIRTEEN DEMONSTRATION VOLUNTEERS WILL VOLUNTEER THEIR SERVICES TO THE FGP OF NW MN. TRI-VALLEY IS REQUESTING SENIOR DEMONSTRATION AUTHORITY FOR OVER-INCOME NON-FEDERALLY FUNDED DEMONSTRATION VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE IN CLASSROOMS. THESE DEMONSTRATION VOLUNTEERS ARE PERSONS AGE 55 AND OLDER WITH HIGHER INCOMES THAT ARE COMMITTING TO VOLUNTEERING A MINIMUM OF 15 HOURS PER WEEK. THE DEMONSTRATION VOLUNTEERS WILL BE FUNDED UTILIZING NO FEDERAL DOLLARS AND WILL BE VOLUNTEERS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO SERVE UNDER CURRENT SENIOR CORPS LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THE FGP OF NW MN WILL CONTINUE, AS ALWAYS TO FILL OPEN SLOTS WITH INCOME ELIGIBLE VOLUNTEERS, BUT WITH THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR VOLUNTEERS IN THE SCHOOLS, WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FILL ALL OF THE DEMANDS WITH ONLY INCOME ELIGIBLE VOLUNTEERS. THIS PROPOSAL FOCUSES ON ONE COMMUNITY NEED IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE: K-12 SUCCESS. THE WORK PLANS ADDRESS EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS IN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA. THE DEMONSTRATION VOLUNTEER WILL BE ASSIGNED A SITE AND WORK WITH STUDENTS IN SMALL GROUPS AND 1:1; BUILDING A CONSISTENT, NURTURING, NON-JUDGMENTAL, INTERGENERATIONAL, CARING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STUDENTS. THE THIRTEEN DEMONSTRATION VOLUNTEERS WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN READING, MATH AND LITERACY SKILLS ACCORDING TO THE SCHOOL'S CURRICULUM TO 78 STUDENTS IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. AT THE END OF THE THREE YEAR GRANT CYCLE THE LONG-TERM IMPACT OF THESE EFFORTS WILL SHOW AN IMPROVED ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN LITERACY AND/OR MATH TO HELP PRIVATE AND PUBLIC K-12 STUDENTS CONTINUE ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IN SCHOOL. THE SENIOR DEMONSTRATION GRANT IS FUNDED BY $116,992 IN NON-FEDERAL RESOURCES.

THIS IS USED BY SENIOR DEMONSTRATION SPONSORS FOR A NO-CORPORATION COST GRANT AWARD.
