National Center for Family Literacy Invites Applications for Family Learning Literacy Programs

[mke...@westga.edu]

The National Center for Family Literacy is accepting applications from organizations and educational institutions for projects that engage families in literacy and mentoring.

Through the Toyota Family Learning initiative, NCFL will award five three-year grants of $175,000 each, as well as a wide range of NCFL training and communications support, to implement services that engage families in learning together, mentoring other families in learning together, and family service learning projects. Priority will be given to projects that adapt existing family engagement in education programs to include the implementation of family mentoring and service learning components, including interactive literacy activities between parents and children, training for parents to be the primary teacher for their children and full partners in the education of their children, families mentoring other families to learn together and participate, and family service learning through projects and the sharing of those projects, activities, and experiences on the Toyota Family Learning community Web site.
