Foster Grandparents are role models, mentors, and friends. They provide one-on-one tutoring, help children to read, assist with homework and help to guide children at a critical time in their lives. They share their time and give the kind of comfort and love that sets a child on the path toward a successful future.

Foster Grandparents have to be income eligible and serve up to 20 hours per week. In return, you’ll receive a tax-free, hourly stipend ,transportation reimbursement, pre-service orientation, training from the organization where you serve, and supplemental accident and liability insurance while on duty.
