Green Mountain Foster Grandparent Program (VT)
Foster Grandparents volunteer in schools, hospitals, drug treatment centers, correctional facilities, libraries, Head Start, recreation departments and day care centers. They help children who may have been abused or neglected, mentor teenagers and young mothers, care for premature infants and children with physical, mental or emotional disabilities. The heart of the program is the one-on-one daily attention that Foster Grandparents provide. This special care helps young people grow, gain confidence, learn, and become full and productive members of society. The benefits to individuals and communities are both immediate and lasting.
