Foster Grandparent

Share Today, Shape Tomorrow

As a Foster Grandparent Program Volunteer, you’re a role model, mentor and friend to children at a local school or youth facility. You help children learn to read, provide one-on-one tutoring, and guide them at a critical time in their lives.  You can share today and help shape tomorrow.

Studies show that volunteering benefits not just the children but you as well.
