Foster
Grandparent Program
The bond between a
child and a grandparent is special. The ideal grandparent takes time
to listen, offers support and friendship, and shares knowledge gained
through a lifetime of experience. A Foster Grandparent does all
these things and more for very special children.
A Foster Grandparent is an older person with time, love and
understanding to give. He or she is someone who enjoys being around children and
wants to help them be their best.
Foster Grandparents
serve children who are:
-
Abused and
neglected
-
From families and
neighborhoods that are plagued by poverty, drugs and alcohol
-
Physically and/or
mentally handicapped
-
Have fallen behind
their peers and need a little help catching up.
Many children have no
older adults in their lives. Through the Foster Grandparent Program,
these young people enjoy the benefits of developing a warm, caring
relationship with a senior citizen.
