Mission Statement

The Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) taps the experience of seniors 60 and older who meet income and program guidelines to meet local community needs by mentoring and/or tutoring children/youth with special or exceptional needs. The FGP is sponsored locally by the Community Action Program.

Description

Make a Difference in the Life of a Child

The Foster Grandparent Program offers seniors age 60 and older opportunities to serve as mentors, tutors, and loving caregivers for children and youth with special needs. If you are interested in serving as a Foster Grandparent, you must meet income eligibility guidelines, and you will receive a modest, tax-free stipend to offset the cost of volunteering. Foster Grandparents serve 15- 40 hours a week serving children with one-on-one, direct service. Other benefits include reimbursement for transportation, some meals during service, an annual physical, and accident and liability insurance while on duty. Pre-Service and monthly training sessions provided.
