The Peninsula Foster Grandparent Program offers individuals age 60 and older an opportunity to serve as mentors, tutors, and loving caregivers for children in our community with special and exceptional needs. Their personal attention helps our young people mature, gain confidence, and become full and productive members of society. The Peninsula Foster Grandparent Program is sponsored locally by and serves the Cities of Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg and the Counties of York and James City.

Foster Grandparent volunteers strengthen communities by providing services that build positive relationships across generations. They serve in community organizations such as schools, Faith-based Daycare centers, and Head Start programs as well as detention and community centers throughout the Peninsula.

In return for their service, Foster Grandparents receive an hourly, tax-free stipend*, physical examination and transportation reimbursement*, accidental and liability insurance*, and monthly recognition.

If you are 60 years of age and have a genuine love for children, contact the Foster Grandparent Program today for an application or more information.

* Some restrictions may apply

No special skills are required, just a willingness to care and invest in the lives of at-risk youth throughout the Peninsula.

In return for service, Foster Grandparents receive a tax-free stipend of $2.65 an hour, accident/liability insurance and meals while on duty, reimbursement for transportation, and monthly training.

Multiple work sites are available in Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, and the Counties of York and James City.
