FOUNDED IN 2004, GRACE PLACE UTILIZED TWO ROOMS AT THE GOLDEN GATE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH TO START A HOMEWORK CLUB FOR CHILDREN IN GOLDEN GATE CITY. TODAY, SET ON A FIVE-ACRE $14 MILLION DOLLAR CAMPUS WITH 30,000 FEET OF INSTRUCTIONAL SPACE IN THE HEART OF GOLDEN GATE, GRACE PLACE PROVIDES YEAR ROUND ACADEMIC AND LITERACY PROGRAMS FOR LOW-INCOME CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. GRACE PLACE ANNUALLY SERVES MORE THAN 1,100 STUDENTS IN EDUCATION PROGRAMS WITH A STAFF OF MORE THAN 140 EMPLOYEES AND OVER 300 VOLUNTEERS IN THE GOLDEN GATE COMMUNITY WHERE: - LESS THAN 60% OF THE PARENTS IN HOUSEHOLDS HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA - 95% LIVE BELOW THE NATIONAL POVERTY LINE - 64% OF THE ADULTS HAVE LESS THAN A NINTH-GRADE EDUCATION - 99% OF STUDENTS LIVE IN NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING HOUSEHOLDS ON AVERAGE 90% OF STUDENTS IN GRACE PLACE PROGRAMS EXCEED AGE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES, YET IN GOLDEN GATE CITY APPROXIMATELY 50% OF STUDENTS AT GOLDEN GATE SCHOOLS ARE PERFORMING BELOW STATE STANDARDS.

THE GRACE PLACE FAMILY LITERACY MODEL MAKES A LASTING IMPACT ON A FAMILY BY INCLUDING MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS. THE MODEL IS BASED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S BRIGHT BEGINNINGS PROGRAM, DEVELOPED OVER A SEVENTEEN-YEAR HISTORY. GRACE PLACE UTILIZES A MULTIGENERATIONAL APPROACH TO MITIGATE AND ADDRESS THE MULTIGENERATIONAL EDUCATIONAL LIMITATION LEADING TO LOW INCOME. PROGRAMMING IS TARGETED TO WORK TOWARD BRIDGING THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GAP EVIDENT BETWEEN FAMILIES IN MIDDLE- OR UPPER-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS WITH THOSE IN HOUSEHOLDS WHOSE INCOMES FALL BELOW THESE ECONOMIC LINES. WRITTEN BY GPFLM ARCHITECT, DIANE PONTON, LEARNING TOGETHER: THE GRACE PLACE FAMILY LITERACY MODEL OFFERS A DEEPER LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT AND LOGIC OF THE MODEL. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT WHEN THE ENTIRE FAMILY IS INVOLVED, IT POSITIVELY AFFECTS FAMILY INTERACTIONS, CHILD DEVELOPMENT, A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, PARENT AND CHILD'S LITERACY SKILLS, AND PARENTING SKILLS. TWO PILOT SITES OPERATE OUTSIDE OF THE GOLDEN GATE CITY AREA THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
