Become a Volunteer Grandparent:
You can become a volunteer grandparent with a family and/or in a local
elementary school. The Family Match program and the School Grandparent
program welcome your interest if you:
- Enjoy the company of children
- Enjoy being a part of a family
- Can enrich the life of a child
- Are 50 years or older
- Can share 2-3 hours a week with a child
- Have a desire to assist in the learning environment and be
involved in a school community
- Have a desire to learn or practice a skill with school-aged
children
It doesn't take much. All it takes is caring, sharing and lots of
laughter. Share in family occasions, explore and be a part of your
community with a grandchild or support a child in the classroom. Become
a single grandparent or volunteer with your spouse. It doesn't matter
if you have grandchildren or not - what matters is that you care and
you want to be involved in your community. As a Volunteer, you will be
joining a growing number of women and men who are dedicated to building
strong communities through intergenerational connections.Volunteer
