Marketing and Recruiting Approaches for Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions

It's about identifying your target audience and understanding what motivates and interests them. It's the vision ideas and images you must create and infuse into all your communications with people 50+ that will make them think "Now that's the program I want to be a part of!"
