Foster
Grandparents
Make a
Difference in the Life of a Child
Foster
Grandparents devote their volunteer service entirely to youth in
need or to youth who are disabled. 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 serve
illnesses.
Foster
Grandparents are individuals age 55 and over who thrive on
direct interaction with children and who believe they can make a
difference in their lives. Income-eligible Foster Grandparents
receive a modest stipend to help offset the costs of
volunteering.
