AFTER SCHOOL GRANDS
|
|
AFTER SCHOOL GRANDS is a valuable component of
the Foster Grandparent Program of Central Florida.
Through partnerships with youth organizations
throughout the community, the program is able to
place Foster Grandparents with youth who have
been identified to possess special and/or exceptional
needs in After-School Programs. Some of the children
with whom Foster Grandparents volunteer are at
risk for truancy, delinquency, drug use, and/or
dropping out of school. Drawing on their own life
experience, Foster Grandparents are able to mentor
these children, encouraging them to make positive
life decisions.
