Foster Grandparent Program Launches Recruitment Drive for Child Mentors
· Texas Border Business
The Foster Grandparent Program in Texas is seeking volunteers aged 55 and older to mentor children with special needs. Unlike traditional foster care, children do not live with their mentors. Volunteers commit 15 to 40 hours weekly and receive a tax-free stipend. The program aims to enhance the lives of both mentors and children through meaningful relationships. In the past year, foster grandparents served 16,772 children and contributed over 347,000 volunteer hours. For more details, visit the Texas Health and Human Services website or call 2-1-1.
