IP Awards Reading Program Grant To Council on Aging
April 22, 2011
A Council on Aging of West Florida reading program has received a $2,500 grant from International Paper in Cantonment.
The grant provides funding for the Foster Grandparent Program’s Little Readers project. The Little Readers project is designed to build confidence in young readers and to provide students with reading deficiencies access to books appropriate for their individual developmental needs. Foster Grandparents will receive training over the summer months so they are prepared for the 2011-2012 school year.
The Foster Grandparent Program provides income-eligible adults 55 and older an opportunity to help students with school work, reinforce values, teach parenting skills to young mothers, and care for premature infants and children with disabilities while earning a tax-free stipend and other benefits.
The IP grants are focused on environmental education, literacy, employee involvement, and critical community needs.
