Foster Grandparents

   Volunteers of America Foster Grandparent Program is an initiative that links-up low-income
   seniors with at-risk children. These special seniors share their life experience with the children who
   need them the most at child care centers, schools and hospitals and other non-profit organizations.

Foster Grandparents open troubled children’s eyes to their potential and foster hope as they battle
dysfunctional family structures, poverty and academic struggles.

This year alone, 160 Foster Grandparents have given one-on-one attention to 4,200 children in the
five metro-Denver counties, Larimer and El Paso counties.


14-Year Foster Grandparent Jackie Reeve works with troubled girls at Excelsior Youth Center in Aurora.
