Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg and Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital are helping children and seniors in South St. Petersburg improve their mental well-being through the Classroom Grandparent Program. Thanks to their $249,524 grant, we will be able to engage 12 NEW Classroom Grandparent volunteers to mentor students in St. Petersburg’s highest-need elementary schools for the next three years! Our Classroom Grandparents receive expert training to help struggling children learn skills to overcome challenges and build resilience while simultaneously improving their own well-being through social connection. A win-win!
