They need volunteers to become part of the Friends Foster Grandparent Program, which places caring seniors in classrooms and daycares to provide ongoing academic and emotional support to children. This unique volunteer role is perfect for those over 55 looking for ways to become engaged in their community, get out of the house, and experience a child’s admiration and love. The position offers a tax-free stipend that will not affect subsidies, in addition to mileage and meal reimbursements.
In the words of one teacher working with a Foster Grandparent, “Grammy Jean is just amazing! She provides so much support academically and emotionally. I love her like she is my own Grammy. We both love watching the children return each year to say hello and give hugs to her. She is unforgettable.”
