Funding Opportunity: Toyota Family Literacy Program Expands!

The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) is pleased to announce  
the expansion of the Toyota Family Literacy Program (TFLP) into  
additional cities that have experienced substantial growth in their  
Hispanic and other immigrant populations.

NCFL will consider school systems that provide evidence of need for  
family literacy services and that can demonstrate the capability to  
deliver these services beginning in the fall of 2006. Interested  
applicants should begin now to identify school sites for the TFLP  
initiative that will focus on Hispanic students in grades  
kindergarten through third grade and their parents.

The TFLP is currently being implemented in ten cities: Chicago, the  
District of Columbia, Los Angeles, New York City, Providence, Chelsea  
(Boston), Detroit, Shelby County AL, Denver and Santa Paula CA.

TFLP program development includes: Adult Education/ESL; Children's  
Education; Parent Time; and Parent and Child Together (PACT) Time.  
These services will be offered in three qualifying elementary schools  
in each school district selected. NCFL will apply its expertise in  
designing programs that connect families, schools and communities to  
expand family literacy services in Hispanic/Latino communities.

Capability Surveys must be received by June 30, 2006. For information
