The AmeriCorps Senior encompasses the Foster Grandparent Program. Volunteers enroll in long term, ongoing volunteer service to provide support and unhurried help to children in classroom settings. Opportunities exist in Wayne, Ontario, Seneca and Yates counties schools and head start programs.
Volunteers serve a minimum of 15 to maximum 40 hours per week in a consistent placement.
They are assigned to support specific children within their classroom setting.
