North Carolina Fund
Recruits Volunteers
The North Garolina Fund is a
program set up by the Ford Founda
tion with matching grants from the
state government and the cities in
which it operates. The N.G. Fund is
a model for the national program,
and Durham is one of the pilot areas.
The purpose of the N.G. Fund is to
attempt to isolate the causes of pov
erty and to determine the most effec
tive methods for dealing with it. The
fund does not give money directly
to individuals but sets up programs
which benefit individuals economic
ally. Two of the aims of the fund are
job-retraining programs and the
building up of economic resources in
depressed areas. Another important
part of this program is research into
the causes of poverty.
The N.G. Volunteers program is
an important part of the N.G. Fund.
This is a summer program which in
volves college students in community
action against poverty problems. The
1965 Volunteers program will in
volve 250 students. After a four-day
orientation the students will form
teams of 15-20 students and move
into 15 N.G. communities. The com
munities themselves must request
that Volunteers be sent into their
community for a particular program.
Last year the first N.G. Volunteers
program involved 100 students work
ing in six community action prob
lems. The students started adult-lit
eracy programs, gave pre-school train
ing to disadvantaged children, drove
bookmobiles into isolated mountain
areas, worked with mentally retarded
children, built and repaired houses,
and many other projects. A St.
Mary’s student, Lily Ross, was one
of the 1964 Volunteers.
The 1965 Volunteers program will
last for eleven weeks. Volunteers will
receive room and board plus a $250
honorarium at the end of the service
