Event Information

COAD Foster Grandparent Volunteers are assigned 2 to 5 children or youth that they will work with as mentors and tutors on a weekly basis. They help children read, tutoring them so they succeed in school. They work with troubled teens to help them gain confidence and to develop life skills. They work in pre-elementary school programs with preschoolers who need extra help to succeed in their future school endeavors. COAD Foster Grandparent Volunteers serve an average of 20 hours per week. A small non-taxable stipend of $2.65 per hour is given to volunteers who meet income eligibility requirements. In addition to the non-taxable stipend, Foster Grandparent Volunteers receive help with meal and transportation costs while volunteering, supplemental auto and liability insurances, an annual physical examination, pre-service orientation and monthly educational trainings and the joy of knowing they are making a difference for the children they serve.
