WRAAA Foster Grandparent Program

WRAAA Foster Grandparent Program We believe in the power of intergenerational connections and the magic they create.

The Foster Grandparent Program benefits the community, the organization, and the volunteer. Think what you can do when you give your time to help your community:

-Help your community: Know that you are giving your time, talent, wisdom and experience to your community and neighbors who need you

-Help yourself: Through service, you can add to the quality and health of your life. Research indicates

that volunteers enjoy better health, make new friendships, stay active and involved in the community, and learn new skills

-Make a difference: Be a part of a national movement to transform America through the involvement of it's citizens.

-Save money for the organizations you serve: By donating your time and skills, you help make funds go farther for organizations that address critical need in your community
