The Foster Grandparent Program provides an opportunity for low-income seniors to earn a small, tax-free stipend of $2.65 per hour while working with high-risk children in 26 settings. They serve 20 hours per week working in hospitals, schools, substance abuse treatment programs, and day care centers. They provide mentoring, tutoring and emotional support to high-risk and special needs children.

The Foster Grandparent Program is made possible by a federal grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service and is sponsored by Salt Lake County Aging Services.
