Foster Grandparent Program

Foster Grandparents serve from 5-40 hours per week and a minimum of 260 hours per year per volunteer. Schedule is flexable between volunteer and teacher availability, Monday through Friday, at the hours of the volunteer's choosing. The program provides a small tax-free stipend of $4.00 per hour.
