Adopt -A-Grandparent Program
The Adopt-A-Grandparent Program seeks to enhance the lives of seniors
through Companionship, Health and Wellness, Community Involvement and
Spiritual Growth and Healing producing empowered, healthy, laughter-prone
individuals.
The Adopt-A-Grandparent Program is the ideal forum to exercise your
gifts of loving, listening and caring for others. If you have a love
for the older generation, here is an opportunity to use your creativity in
service, even if you have no prior experience. The main requirement
of your volunteer position with Adopt-A-Grandparent is to learn how to
receive the gifts the seniors give you. This is an art that takes
some doing since most of us are much better givers than receivers.
There are three options for volunteer opportunities with
Adopt-A-Grandparent. They are: a Friend, an On-Call Driver or a
Board Member.
