The Ball Brothers Foundation awarded a $4,890 grant to Muncie Community Schools to provide professional development for its Parent Volunteer Coordinators.
MCS announced that each of its schools has a "parent center" and a "parent volunteer coordinator" whose efforts focus on promoting, developing and organizing parent involvement at the school.
With the grant, MCS announced that DiLynn Phelps, director of alternative education and diversity, has created a professional development series to help train the parent volunteer coordinators. As part of the program, the parent volunteer coordinators will participate in three six-hour training workshops during the 2009-2010 academic year.
According to its Web site, the Ball Brothers Foundation's mission is improving the quality of life in Muncie, Delaware County, East Central Indiana and Indiana through philanthropy and leadership. The foundation gave more than $6.3 million in grant money in 2008, according to the Web site.
