Foster Grandparent Program looks for more volunteers as restrictions lift across Minnesota

The Wadena-Deer Creek School District opened it's doors to volunteers for their summer school program. Grandma Leona Porter has been a volunteer with the school district for 13 years! She was excited to get back to service, and students were just as excited to see her.

Two volunteers also returned to the Lindgren Child Care Center last week. It has been a long 15 months for Grandma Jeannine and Grandma Sarah, two Foster Grandparent volunteers who serve year round, each serving 10+ hours each week.

The Foster Grandparent Program is looking for more volunteers to join our program. We have many area schools that are requesting more volunteers for the 2021-2022 school year.

Volunteers must be 55+. No formal experience is necessary. The only requirements are that you enjoy working with and mentoring students and you must pass a background study.
