Foster Grandparents - Senior Corps
https://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/senior-corps/senior-corps-programs/fostergrandparents
​
Foster Grandparents are role models, mentors, and friends to children with exceptional needs. The program provides a way for volunteers age 55 and over to stay active by serving children and youth in their communities.
​
Volunteers serve at thousands of local organizations that:
-
Help children learn to read and provide one-on-one tutoring
-
Mentor troubled teenagers and young mothers
-
Care for premature infants or children with disabilities
-
Help children who have been abused or neglected
All you need to join is the ability to give the kind of comfort and love that sets a child on the path toward a successful future. If you’re 55 or older and want to share your experience and compassion, you have what it takes to be a Foster Grandparent.
​
Senior Companions provides volunteers aged 55 and over who make a difference by providing assistance and friendship to adults who have difficulty with daily living tasks, such as shopping or paying bills. The program helps these adults remain independent in their homes instead of having to move to more costly institutional care.
The program serves 15 to 40 hours per week helping an average of two to four adult clients live independently in their own homes.
