We are older adult citizens committed to meaningful
participation in our community. We serve the local community as
Foster Grandparents in schools, head start centers and after=school
programs. We are dedicated to the literacy and socialization of all
children. We treat children with honesty, respect, intelligence,
kindness and cultural sensitivity. Our service is predicated on
hope, strength and life experience.
We believe that our selfless contribution to society
will positively affect the educational experience of children in our
neighborhoods. Moreover, stable and fortified younger generations
will blossom into healthy older generations. As Foster Grandparents
and VAC members we promote positive intergenerational activities in the
community. We are motivated to defeat the stereotypes that retired
and older citizens deplete society of its richness and instead promote the
idea that we are integral and necessary components to a healthy and
vibrant society. We look to increase in numbers as an organization
directly associated with the Foster Grandparent Program as well as
increase our community visibility through community service. |
