The Sacramento Foster Grandparent Program, California
The Sacramento Foster Grandparent Program
The Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) provides mentoring, tutoring and friendship to at-risk children and youth at schools, day care centers, juvenile hall, receiving homes and hospitals in Sacramento, Placer and Yolo counties. Eligible low-income volunteers receive a non-taxable stipend, mileage reimbursement and training.
Our mission is to find the perfect placement for our volunteers.
Volunteers are trained to assist to the specialty of their placement. In the classroom they may assist low achieving students to "learn to love to learn". At the Juvenile Service Center the volunteers impress up the youth that everybody makes mistakes and need not return.
