Foster Grandparent Program helping Elders to Share with the Youth
Interesting to read about a national program that links our elders with youth - particularly those kids who have had a bit of a tough go of it in life. I did a quick search and it seems the Foster Grandparent program is happening in quite a few communities across the country. I would be interested in learning about more programs like this that connect children w/ mentors / elders. Anyone out there is familiar with orgs working in this area?
