The Foster Grandparent Program is funded in part by the California Department of Developmental Services and by AmeriCorps, a federal agency connecting individuals and organizations through service and volunteering to tackle the nation’s most pressing challenges. Our Foster Grandparent volunteers serve students with special needs throughout the school year in their classroom environment, while sharing a lifetime of experience and providing opportunities for them to more fully participate in school.
