Bill > HB2383

This bill establishes the Older Adult Mentor Volunteer Program (MVP) in Pennsylvania. The program aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between generations, using the experience and wisdom of retired older adults (age 55 and above) to enrich the lives and futures of the Commonwealth's young people. The bill outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Department of Education, the State Board of Education, intermediate units, and public school entities in developing and implementing the program, including creating guidelines, maintaining a volunteer registry, and providing orientation for MVP volunteers. The program is voluntary for school entities, and it allows older adults to apply to serve as mentors in their areas of expertise and interest.
