Dear ESL Colleagues,

With the receipt of funding from the Corporation for National and Community
Service, Project SHINE (Students Helping in the Naturalization of Elders) is
pleased to announce a request for proposals for institutions of higher
education.  SHINE is a national service-learning initiative that promotes
lifelong civic engagement by mobilizing college students to help elderly
immigrants and refugees learn the English and civics they need to become
more actively engaged in their communities and to prepare for U.S.
citizenship.

Funding is available to individual institutions of higher education or
university-community college partnerships that are interested in replicating
the SHINE model in areas with large concentrations of older immigrants and
refugees.  Funding is available for a 10-month planning grant and two years
of full implementation, subject to yearly renewal.  Interested applicants
are required to submit a letter of intent by October 20, followed by a full
proposal due November 15.  To access the complete RFP, go to SHINE’s website
at www.projectshine.org.  For more information, please contact Daryl Gordon,
Assistant Director at daryl@temple.edu.
