While planning for the Hope Lights multigenerational neighborhood is underway, we are providing programs and services that enhance educational opportunities for children and connect them with older adults so all may thrive.
Across the Generations is an intergenerational literacy-based mentoring program for kids in grades K through 4. A child who is adopted, or experiencing foster or kinship care, is paired with a grand-mentor tutor to help improve their reading and overall literacy and provide a stable presence in the child’s life. We are currently seeking funding and hope to launch this program in September 2019.
STEAM programs will offer educational and experiential opportunities in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics for our underserved children and youth in foster, kinship, or adoptive families.
