FUNDS AWARDED FOR READING TUTORS
The state Employment Security Department has awarded a grant of $176,000 to Community Youth Services, which serves Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Grays Harbor, Pierce and Thurston counties.
The public service program will use the grant to support 56 Washington Reading Corps members for 10-and-a-half months to a year in their efforts to tutor pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade students in public schools.
Funding for the grant comes from the federal AmeriCorps and Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) programs. Employment Security distributes the money to local communities throughout Washington to cover operating costs and provide stipends to Washington Service Corps members to work on a wide range of public-service projects.
Nearly $2 million is being distributed to school districts, counties, learning centers, housing authorities and non-profit groups to support 24 projects in the coming year. The projects will occur in 23 of Washington’s 39 counties from September 2008 through August 2009.
