Foster Grandparent volunteers provide one-on-one mentoring a few hours a week to at-risk youth to help them boost self-esteem and overall success. Volunteers can positively impact the lives of children and youth, find a meaningful way to give back, and earn extra income.

In this COVID-19 environment, Foster Grandparents are finding ways to support teachers and students remotely through phone and video chat.
