What you do

Foster grandparents tutor and mentor children in elementary schools, preschools, and Head Start programs across Pueblo County, serving 15 to 40 hours a week. For many volunteers it is the most meaningful commitment on this site: steady time with children who need a steady adult.

What you receive

A tax-free stipend that does not count against benefits.
Mileage and meal reimbursement.
Monthly training, and recognition events.

The program is for income-qualified adults 55 and older. Call and ask; the income limits are part of the qualifying conversation.

[ Unverified ]

The stipend amount, the mileage rate, and how volunteers who do not drive reach their placements.

The question we'd ask SRDA: How do non-driving foster grandparents get to placements today, how many willing volunteers can't serve for lack of a ride, and can mileage reimbursement apply when a volunteer rides rather than drives?
