Foster Grandparent Program

Share Today, Shape Tomorrow…

As a Foster Grandparent, you’re a role model, a mentor and a friend, serving at local schools and youth facilities. You help children learn to read, provide one-on-one tutoring, and guide children at a critical time in their lives.

 When you volunteer, you’re not just helping others, you’re helping yourself. Volunteering leads to new discoveries and new friends.
