Foster Grandparents
Our “Foster Grandparents” — senior volunteers who mentor schoolchildren — have found their purpose in life, and are improving their own health by staying engaged and active. NBC News saw their powerful impact; so did the Washington Post, and even Voice of America, who showed why other countries could benefit from UPO’s approach.
Impact
Every principal wants more Foster Grandparents in their school, and every teacher loves the unique relationship that Foster Grandparents have with students.
