FIRST TENNESSEE HUMAN RESOURCE AGENCY (FTHRA) IS A PUBLIC NON-PROFIT AGENCY CHARTERED BY THE STATE IN 1974 WITH THE MISSION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE OF NORTHEAST TENNESSEE THROUGH EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF SOCIAL SERVICES. FTHRA SERVES THE MOSTLY RURAL APPALACHIAN COUNTIES OF CARTER, GREENE, JOHNSON, HAWKINS, HANCOCK, SULLIVAN, UNICOI AND WASHINGTON PROVIDING A VARIETY OF NEEDS-BASED SERVICES TO LOW INCOME AND AT-RISK PEOPLE LIVING IN OUR SERVICE AREA. FTHRA HAS SUCCESSFULLY ADMINISTERED FGP IN GREENE COUNTY FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND GREENE COUNTY HAS MAINTAINED AN ACTIVE FGP FOR OVER 50 YEARS THROUGH VARIOUS SPONSORING AGENCIES. FTHRA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND FGP STAFF HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE BEST WAY TO UTILIZE FGP RESOURCES IS TO CONTINUE TO CONCENTRATE OUR EFFORTS IN GREENE COUNTY.THE MISSION OF THE FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM IS TO ADVANCE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS SO THAT THEY MAY SERVE SPECIAL-NEEDS YOUTH THROUGH COLLABORATIONS WITH WORK SITES IN OUR SERVICE AREA. AN ESTIMATED 60-65 UNDUPLICATED FGP VOLUNTEERS WILL SERVE GREENE COUNTY; ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE ASSISTING IN CLASSROOMS, ASSISTING IN HEAD START PROGRAMS, CARING FOR INFANTS, TUTORING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE PRIMARY FOCUS AREA OF THIS PROJECT IS EDUCATION. WE ANTICIPATE 350 CHILDREN/YOUTH WILL SHOW IMPROVED LITERACY AND MATH SKILLS. WE ALSO ANTICIPATE IMPROVED CLASSROOM ENGAGEMENT AND ATTENDANCE. VOLUNTEERS WILL SERVE AS POSITIVE ROLE MODELS, PROVIDING UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE, LOVE AND ATTENTION. IN PRE-K CLASSES, VOLUNTEERS WILL FOCUS ON EARLY LITERACY, SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT, SCHOOL READINESS; ENCOURAGING POSITIVE SOCIAL INTERACTION AND COMMUNICATION THROUGH READING, GAMES, AND TEACHING SELF-HELP SKILLS. VOLUNTEERS IN K-8 GRADES WILL FOCUS ON LITERACY SKILLS; HELPING STUDENTS WITH READING, WORD RECOGNITION, AND PHONICS, AS WELL AS IMPROVEMENT IN ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE IN LITERACY. THE 18 + VOLUNTEER WORK SITES BENEFIT CONSIDERABLY FROM HAVING A FGP VOLUNTEER; IT IS COST-EFFECTIVE FOR THE WORK SITES TO UTILIZE VOLUNTEERS THROUGH FGP SINCE WE PROVIDE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS (INCLUDING FINGER PRINTING CHECKS), ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAMS, ORIENTATION/MONTHLY TRAINING, ETC.. THE 2011 STATE OF THE CHILD IN TENNESSEE REPORT IDENTIFIES THE NEED FOR ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTION AS THE FOUNDATION FOR BRAIN STIMULATION. GREENE COUNTY AND GREENEVILLE CITY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS, SUPERVISORS AND DAY CARE CENTER DIRECTORS HAVE ECHOED THOSE FINDINGS; A VOLUNTEER PROVIDING ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION IN EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS IS A MUCH NEEDED COMPONENT OF THE INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTIONAL PLANS OF THE YOUNG CHILDREN. FOR THE CHILDREN WHO ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A FOSTER GRANDPARENT, THE NURTURING, SPECIAL TUTORING, GUIDANCE AND INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN POSITIVE GROWTH AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS, IN TURN, IMPACTS THE CHILD'S FAMILY IN A BENEFICIAL WAY. FOSTER GRANDPARENTS GIVE CHILDREN THAT MUCH-NEEDED ATTENTION THAT CAN CHANGE LIVES. BY USING TEACHER OBSERVATION FORMS AND LOGS, ASSIGNMENT PLANS AND ASSIGNMENT PLAN EVALUATIONS, SURVEYS, STAFF OBSERVATIONS, AS WELL AS REPORT CARDS, PRE-SCHOOL TESTING, MID-TERM TESTING, AND END-OF-YEAR EVALUATIONS, OUR PROGRAM WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOUTH HAVE SHOWN INCREASED RESPONSIVENESS, IMPROVED DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS AS DETERMINED BY THE TEACHERS SUCH AS LANGUAGE, LETTER, COLOR, NUMBER, AND NAME RECOGNITION, ETC.
