ND Senior Career Development

The AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) is a nationwide program and has been around for over 50 years. This program provides the opportunity for people 55+ from local communities to volunteer 5 to 40 hours a week working one-on-one with children in our local schools. The program's goal is to engage seniors to help children by guiding the children's emotional, social, and academic growth. Qualifying volunteers will also receive required training, an hourly stipend, and reimbursements for meals and mileage. The FGP contract must be zeroed out at the end of the fiscal year. Any money unused is returned to AmeriCorps.
