Become a Foster Grandparent
While attending a Gmfton Network Meeting, a representative fiom the
Northeast Human Service Center inforlned the group of a great program
lbr men and women 55 years of age mad over: becoming a Foster Grand-
pm:ent.
Now I know a lot of people in the area over 55 and think they would
make a great grandparent, if they are one already. Here are a few details
about the Red River Valley Foster Grandparent Program.
Requirements to become a foster grandparent include being 55 or old-
er, be able to serve 15 hours per week, and have a sincere interest in be-
ing a positive role model tbr children.
Some benefits include a $2.65/hour non-taxable stipend, 12 paid holi-
days, transportation, supplemental insurance, noon meal, and pre-service
orientation training and ongoing monthly training.
Foster grandpments go m elementary schools, head start programs, child
cm'e centers, and other programs to work with chil&'en to help them achieve
their social, behavioral and educational goals.
As a tbster grandparent, you're a role model, a mentor, and a friend. The
program asks you to share your time today to help a child's tomorrow.
The Foster Grandparent Program is a part of Senior Corps, along with
RSVP and the Senior Companion Pro am. Senior Corps is administered
by the Corporation for National and Comnlmfity Service, the fiMeral agency
that. supports service and volunteering programs to improve lives,
strengthen communities, and fbster civic engagement. For nlore information
on the Corporation visit www.nationalservice.com.

Eastern North Dakota you may call 701-795-3112, 1-800-256-6742 or
