Project Title: Helping Hands Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Our Helping Hands program provides literacy\/math remediation (350 students), case management (250 students), wrap-around support (150 students), books for students and foster children (1700 children), health screenings (4000 students), life skills training (150 students), and whole school engagement activities when COVID-19 restrictions allow (4000 students).
\nHelping Hands aligns with the Coordinated Community Services Priority from the Governor\u2019s Office of Student Affairs in Georgia to work with chronically-failing schools in the Augusta area. Our model of support is founded on community collaboration with businesses, social service agencies, churches, and healthcare providers for wrap-around support. <\/p>\n
Working alongside school staff, RISE site coordinators identify struggling students in danger of failing or dropping out, assess their needs, and provide integrated support services utilizing appropriate community partnerships. Based on site coordinator and teacher assessments, RISE academic remediation tutors placed in the school provide intensive intervention with failing and\/or at-risk students. Remediation tutoring in small group and individual settings is necessary to bring struggling students back to their grade level. Students are taken out of the classroom during school hours to meet with their tutor two to three times a week for hour-long sessions. Proven methods are used to find the source of student difficulties and bring them up to grade level in Math and Reading during remediation time. Tutors also serve as mentors as they build relationships with individual students through the school year. The site coordinator will also distribute wrap-around support as identified by tutors and teachers to mitigate nonacademic barriers to learning. <\/p>\n
This grant can provide much-needed support that will allow us to move forward with our mission and continue impacting our at-risk students: $5,000 will go toward tutoring remediation costs; $2,500 will provide wrap-around services to vulnerable students.<\/p>\n
