Foster Grandparent Program

Three Senior women The Foster Grandparent Program is sponsored by Volunteers of America, Utah with a cooperative agreement through the Corporation for National and Community Service Senior Corps.  Foster Grandparents are individuals 60 years of age and older, have limited income, love children and can volunteer 15 to 40 hours each week during the school year.  Foster Grandparent Volunteers serve at-risk children in schools and Head Start Centers.  They give the much-needed attention, encouragement, and love to help children develop skills, confidence and strength for success in life through individual attention in the classroom.  The Foster Grandparent Program provides volunteer opportunities in Tooele, Carbon, Grant, Emery and San Juan Counties.
