BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A large portion of nearly $1 million in new federal funding for AmeriCorps volunteer activities in North Dakota is directed to helping grade school children with reading.
Activities supported by the funding include the Reading Corps program. Fifty-three AmeriCorps volunteers will provide reading assistance for students at elementary schools in Bismarck, Fargo, Jamestown, Hazen, Mandan, Northern Cass, and West Fargo.
The federal funds filter through the Corporation for National and Community Service, the agency which administers AmeriCorps.
