Community Volunteer Network’s Foster Grandparent Program offers a multigenerational avenue for developing meaningful relationships, deep connections, and shared experiences that are long-lasting.
Volunteer participants in our Foster Grandparent Program are older adults ages 55 plus who offer support, love and wisdom to children and youth in Jackson, Josephine and Klamath counties.
Foster Grandparents serve between 10 and 40 hours a week in early learning centers, elementary schools, and various community settings.
Volunteers get to choose the hours and days that they serve and also choose where they serve.
The Foster Grandparent Program offers many benefits to volunteers, children and youth.
One of the most important benefits of our program for volunteers is that they remain physically and mentally active.
Many volunteers report that the quality of their lives is greatly improved through participation in our Foster Grandparent Program.
Volunteers receive a modest hourly, TAX-FREE stipend.
The TAX-FREE stipend in non-declarable will not affect any other State or Federal benefits one receives.
Other benefits include transportation reimbursement, paid time off, training, accident, personal liability, and excess automobile liability insurance, as well as community recognition.
Remember, when you volunteer, you’re not just helping others—you’re helping yourself.
Volunteering leads to new discoveries and new friends.
Plus, studies show that volunteering helps you live longer and promotes a positive outlook on life.
So get involved, and join Foster Grandparents today!
