The Foster Grandparent Program provides meaningful volunteer placement, 20-30 hours per week, for eligible persons age 55 and over in Lenawee County, enabling them to render supportive person-to-person services to children in classrooms across Lenawee County. The program offers an excellent opportunity for older persons to share their lifetime of experience with children in need of a supportive relationship. Academic degrees and occupational background are not considered when determining eligibility to be a Foster Grandparent, however income requirements must be met. The program looks for persons who enjoy being with children and have the ability to work with them on a personal level.
For their service, Foster Grandparents receive a $4.00 per hour tax-free stipend - one meal per day, reimbursement for transportation, and an annual physical. The main benefit is the satisfaction Foster Grandparents derive from helping their assigned children to develop. Version Options
