About this grant
The purpose of the Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) is to provide limited income seniors who are 55 years of age and older the opportunity to serve as one-on-one tutors and mentors to many young people who have special needs in our schools. Forster Grandparents are role models, mentors, and friends to children with exceptional needs. FGP volunteers have developed a lifetime of skills, talents, experience and work ethic that makes them a valuable resource in their communities.
