Narrative

If you’re a senior age 55+ living in Boston, Quincy or the Eastern Middlesex County communities of Cambridge, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Somerville, or Stoneham, and you can commit to a minimum of 15 hours per week, we encourage you to apply to become a Foster Grandparent. Small stipends are available on a limited basis.

We match Foster Grandparents with infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school age children in public/private schools, daycare centers, hospitals, and Head Start sites. Your mentorship, guidance, and companionships give kids the confidence they need to succeed–to beat the odds and overcome academic challenges and other obstacles.

At the same time, the program gives you the opportunity to get out of the house, use your talents, and make a difference.
