Programs

Adult volunteer (55 and up) serve as mentors and/or tutors to children in Head Start Centers, schools, and youth groups settings. Volunteers pass on language tradition, share cultural values, and help students make academic gains. Foster Grandparent will have two students they are assigned too, to work within the classroom
