Make a Difference in the Life of a Child

Foster Grandparents devote their volunteer service entirely to disadvantaged or disabled youth. Across the country, Foster Grandparents help children in many ways:

  • Offering emotional support to child victims of abuse and neglect;
  • Tutoring children with low literacy skills;
  • Mentoring troubled teenagers and young mothers; and
  • Caring for premature infants and children with physical disabilities and severe illnesses.

Foster Grandparents are individuals age 60 and over who thrive on direct interaction with children and believe they can make a difference in their lives.  Income-eligible Foster Grandparents receive a modest stipend to help offset the costs of volunteering.
