Foster Grandparent Program
To be a Foster Grandparent you must be at least 60 years old, meet income requirements and be willing to serve 20 hours a week. You'll receive a tax-free stipend, 40-hours of pre-service orientation and on-going monthly training. You will also receive reimbursement for transportation, meals while on duty, an annual physical examination and supplemental accident and liability insurance during your service.

Border babies and troubled teens alike respond to the
care, guidance and friendship Foster Grandparents know how to give. Personal
support is at the heart of the program. As a Foster Grandparent, you may
assist children who have been abused and neglected, mentor troubled
teenagers and young mothers, cuddle premature infants or care for children
with physical disabilities. The needs--and demands--are great. But so are
the rewards. Be part of a nationally recognized intergenerational program
linking seniors with special needs children.
