An Act establishing the Older Adult Mentor Volunteer Program; and providing for duties of the Department of Education, the State Board of Education, intermediate units and public school entities.

This bill establishes the Older Adult Mentor Volunteer Program to connect older adults with students in public schools, cyber charter schools, and other educational entities. The program requires schools to provide orientation guidelines to volunteers before they begin and mandates that mentors be matched with students based on shared interests, skills, or specific needs. Additionally, the legislation requires schools to obtain parental consent before linking a student with a volunteer and outlines the roles of the Department of Education and the Department of Aging in administering the initiative.
