Foster Grandparents a 'win-win' in KC schools

Grandparents can make a huge impact in the lives of children. That's why an area program is making the connection in metro schools with the "Foster Grandparent Program." Foster grandparents are given a pre-tax stipend and reimbursement for travel expenses to their volunteer assignments. They must pass a background check and physical exam and must meet federal income guidelines. Most will work between 15 and 40 hours each week.
