Description Foster Grandparents are senior volunteers who serve at various schools, Head Start Centers, daycares, faith-based groups, and other education-focused organizations. They support children who are facing challenges to school success by helping them learn to read, tutoring them, and providing general mentorship.
The Foster Grandparent Program is part of AmeriCorps along with RSVP and Senior Companion Program. Volunteers who meet income requirements may be eligible for a living stipend.
