Catholic Charities promotes foster grandparent program
Catholic Charities Central Minnesota Foster Grandparent Program offers adults, ages 55 and over, the opportunity to work with students in local schools, or other non-profit agencies where children need extra assistance. Typically school “Grandmas” and “Grandpas” are matched with classrooms where they can share their skills and personalities. The intergenerational bond between the senior volunteer and the children they serve is beneficial to both. No prior teaching experience is necessary – just need a caring spirit and the desire to help. For more information or to apply to be a Foster Grandparent, contact Emily Chaphalkar at echaphalkar@ccstcloud.org or 320-229-4597.
