Divine Revelations Ministries, Geeks & Gramps Program Assistant Youth  Coordinator 

Divine Revelations Ministries, Inc. (DRMI) is a 501c3 charitable organization with a mission to help all people to live more enriching lives. We accomplish our mission by administering six core secular (non-religious) programs under our nonprofit umbrella, including the DRMI Geeks & Gramps (grandparents) Program (G&GP) evidence-driven Control the Fire! ©2015 Anger Management Program for adults and teens (CTF) and Reclaiming Freedom from Addictions & Substances Program ©2022 (RFAS) for adults at correctional facilities, Leon County Detention Center, and Leon County Probation. We also distribute food/clothing to the homeless and those in need; and sponsor free community awareness events. DRMI’s life-enrichment programs and wraparound services assist the most vulnerable in the Big Bend 8-County region of Florida. Programming is targeted to youth ages 8-18 and seniors, court-ordered clients, incarcerated and returning citizens and at-risk youth and adults.

Details about the DRMI Geeks & Gramps Program

Under the corporate umbrella of DRMI, the G&GP was created in 2019 to bridge the digital and generational divide between youth and seniors. The program is multi-generational and serves two main demographics – youth and seniors. Youth complete a 4-week workshop series including professional and interpersonal skills featuring community professionals, meaningful learning activities, and youth are introduced to the fields of STEAM as career options. Youth learn to embrace collaboration with other youth and seniors, address ageism and cultivate intergenerational relationships with older generations, while paying it forward through volunteerism. Youth have the capacity to learn soft and hard skills to be more successful in school and as productive members of the community in general. Youth are designated as: Navigators (ages 8-12), Demonstrators (ages 13-16) and Facilitators (ages 17-19).

The DRMI G&GP is the only program in the Big Bend area of Florida that partners youth 8-19 as SMEs to train/help seniors learn the stewardship of digital technology and cultivate intergenerational relationships with a goal of reducing feelings of isolation/loneliness. Since its inception in 2019, the program has served 61 youth who have completed 72 workshop sessions and 571 volunteer hours. We have served 288 seniors at demo events and two (2) seniors have volunteered for the Senior Moments series.

We are seeking interns with an interest in assisting in the coordination of the youth components of the DRMI Geeks & Gramps Program including the development, implementation, and evaluation of the program.

We accomplish our mission by administering six core secular (non-religious) programs under our nonprofit umbrella, including the DRMI Geeks & Gramps (grandparents) Program (G&GP) evidence-driven Control the Fire! ©2015 Anger Management Program for adults and teens (CTF) and Reclaiming Freedom from Addictions & Substances Program ©2022 (RFAS) for adults at correctional facilities, Leon County Detention Center, and Leon County Probation. We also distribute food/clothing to the homeless and those in need; and sponsor free community awareness events. DRMI’s life-enrichment programs and wraparound services assist the most vulnerable in the Big Bend 8-County region of Florida. Programming is targeted to youth ages 8-18 and seniors, court-ordered clients, incarcerated and returning citizens and at-risk youth and adults.

Details about the DRMI Geeks & Gramps Program

Under the corporate umbrella of DRMI, the G&GP was created in 2019 to bridge the digital and generational divide between youth and seniors. Populations of seniors continue to increase as baby boomer reach retirement age. The Census Bureau 2020 population estimates, 54.1 million Americans are age 65+ with Florida ranking nationally as #2 in population of seniors. Like nationally, there remains a notable generational and digital divide between youth and seniors in our local areas.

The program is a multi-generational and serves two main demographics – youth and seniors. The goals of the program are to (1) empower seniors to stay connected with loved ones and remain engaged with their community in an effort to combat feelings of isolation and loneliness; (2) bridge the digital divide by helping seniors learn digital literacy and stewardship through group and one-on-one personalized coaching from youth; and (3) bridge the generational divide by connecting generations through technology while providing meaningful volunteer experiences for youth ages 8-18 and older adults. The program shows potential for keeping older adults engaged in life-long learning, social inclusion, cultivation of intergenerational relationships and development of leadership and work-readiness skills for youth.

The DRMI G&GP is the only program in the Big Bend area of Florida that partners youth 8-19 as SMEs to train/help seniors learn the stewardship of digital technology and cultivate intergenerational relationships with a goal of reducing feelings of isolation/loneliness. Since its inception in 2019, the program has served 61 youth who have completed 72 workshop sessions and 571 volunteer hours. We have served 288 seniors at demo events and two (2) seniors have volunteered for the Senior Moments recorded series.

We are seeking interns with an interest in assisting in the coordination of the senior components of the DRMI Geeks & Gramps Program including the development, implementation, and evaluation of the program. This internship opportunity would be ideal for a student studying disciplines related to aging, including adult/human development, psychology, social work, counseling, gerontology, or similar; public health or non-profit management.

MathPals:

The transition from middle school to high school is a critical time in a student’s life. Mentoring in middle school in the form of intervention can often decrease the number of students who drop out during that tough transition. For those students who dropped out, passing the End-of-Course exams was often the largest hurdle, in particular the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam.

Only 27% of Leon County Schools’ 2013-2014 level one students passed the Algebra 1 End of Course Exam.

This year, to work to increase the Algebra I passing rate in Leon County, United Way of the Big Bend is implementing the MathPals program at two local middle schools. MathPals will match caring volunteers one-to-one with middle school students who are struggling with the Algebra 1 skills needed to pass the End-of-Course exams. The MathPals curriculum will encourage students to master the Algebra 1 skills through exploration of math in the real world, collaborative learning, and independent practice.
