The Foster Grandparent Program empowers seniors aged 55 and older to make a significant impact on their communities by serving as mentors and caregivers for children with exceptional needs. With a commitment of at least 15 hours a week, volunteers provide invaluable support in schools, daycare facilities, and after-school programs, helping children overcome challenges and succeed. Participants benefit from a modest stipend, transportation reimbursement, and comprehensive training. This intergenerational initiative not only enriches the lives of the children served but also fosters meaningful connections, combating social isolation among seniors. By addressing critical community needs, the Foster Grandparent Program plays a vital role in enhancing the well-being of both generations.
