Programs described in its return (3)
- $477,311 spent. FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM: ALABAMA RANKS 47TH IN THE NATION FOR EDUCATION AND HAS ONE OF THE HIGHER HIGH SCHOOL DROP-OUT RATES. IN ADDITION TO THE ACADEMIC NEEDS OF YOUNGER CHILDREN TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THE INCREASED GEOGRAPHIC MOBILITY, LACK OF ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES IN POOR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THE RISE OF SINGLE-PARENT FAMILIES AND FAMILIES WITH TWO WORKING PARENTS HAVE REDUCED THE NUMBER OF ADULT ROLE MODELS IN THE DAY-TO-DAY LIVES OF CHILDREN. THIS INCREASES THE RISK FACTORS FOR DROPOUT RATES. FOSTER GRANDPARENTS MEET THIS NEED BY UTILIZING LOW INCOME SENIOR VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE ABLE TO PASS A PHYSICAL AND EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND CHECKS, AND HAVE A DESIRE TO IMPACT THE LIFE OF A CHILD. EACH FOSTER GRANDPARENT DEDICATES A MINIMUM OF 16 HOURS PER WEEK TO MENTOR, TUTOR, AND ASSIST CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. IN RETURN, FOSTER GRANDPARENTS EARN A SMALL STIPEND OF $4.00 PER HOUR AS WELL AS TRANSPORTATION COSTS, AND MEAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE VOLUNTEER. FOSTER GRANDPARENTS ALSO RECEIVE 40 HOURS OF TRAINING PRIOR TO BEING PLACED AND EACH MONTH HAVE AN IN-SERVICE TO KEEP THEM UP TO DATE ON ALL THE LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT CARING FOR SOMEONE.
- $434,233 spent. SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM: AGING SENIORS WHO ARE FRAIL OR ILL ARE OFTEN UNABLE TO MANAGE THEIR DAY TO DAY TASKS SUCH AS MEAL PREPARATION, HOUSEKEEPING, LAUNDRY, TRANSPORTATION, AND REMEMBERING IMPORTANT TASKS EACH DAY LIKE TAKING MEDICATION. OLDER, FRAILER, SENIORS ARE ALSO AT RISK FOR SOCIAL ISOLATION AND DEPRESSION AS THEY DO NOT FEEL LIKE LEAVING THEIR HOMES AND MANY OF THEIR FRIENDS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM UTILIZES OTHER OLDER ADULTS (55+) TO ASSIST THOSE SENIORS WHO ARE FRAIL OR ILL. THEY CAN HELP WITH DAILY LIVING SKILLS, REMIND THEM OF IMPORTANT TASKS, ACCOMPANY THEM TO ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE HOME, AND BECOME A FRIEND THAT IS DEPENDABLE. THEY CAN ALSO PROVIDE RESPITE SERVICES TO FAMILIES IN NEED. SENIOR COMPANIONS ARE LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. THIS IS A STIPEND PROGRAM THAT PAYS $4.00/HR., TRANSPORTATION COSTS, AND MEAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE VOLUNTEER. SENIOR COMPANIONS ALSO RECEIVE 40 HOURS OF TRAINING PRIOR TO BEING PLACED AND EACH MONTH HAVE AN IN-SERVICE TO KEEP THEM UP TO DATE ON ALL THE LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT CARING FOR SOMEONE.
- $340,220 spent. RETIRED SENIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM: ALL COMMUNITIES DEPEND ON VOLUNTEERS, BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL TO ADDRESS A RANGE OF COMMUNITY PROBLEMS AND NEEDS THAT OTHER INSTITUTIONS CANNOT HANDLE THEMSELVES. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS FOR THOSE WHO VOLUNTEER AND IT IS MORE BENEFICIAL TO OLDER ADULTS THAN YOUNGER INDIVIDUALS. THE BENEFITS GO BEYOND JUST MAKING THE VOLUNTEER FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES, IT HELPS OLDER ADULTS REMAIN ACTIVE WHICH CAN IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH. POSITIVE MATURITY PROVIDES A VARIETY OF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE FOUR COUNTY AREA THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER NONPROFITS, GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, PROPRIETARY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. VOLUNTEERS ARE MATCHED BASED ON THEIR INTERESTS AND SKILLS. EACH VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENT PROVIDES MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE CHANGE AND CAN BE MEASURED. VOLUNTEERS ARE ALSO PROVIDED WITH ONGOING SUPPORT THROUGH RSVP. TRAININGS, APPRECIATION ACTIVITIES, AND ACCESS TO SOCIAL SERVICES ALL HELP MAKE THE VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE GREAT.
