Services

Foster Grandparents volunteer in schools, hospitals, correctional institutions, Head Start programs, preschool and day care centers, public libraries, and homes for unwed mothers, or whereever there are children with special and/or exceptional need. They serve in public, nonprofit, or religiously sponsored institutions.

They help children up to 21 years of age who have been abused or neglected, tutor and/or mentor children, troubled teenagers and young mothers, and care for premature infants.

The heart of the Foster Grandparent Program is the one-on-one daily attention that a Foster Grandparent provides, helping young people grow, gain confidence, and become more full and productive members of society.
