Become a classroom volunteer today through the AmeriCorps Senior Foster Grandparent Program at Catholic Charities! Seniors (ages 55+) spend time in early learning centers, public/parochial schools, and shelters across the county to build relationships with students to help them grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Volunteers receive a tax-free stipend, mileage reimbursement, paid training, and the opportunity to join a community of like-minded senior volunteers! This is a great opportunity for seniors who enjoy working with children to give back to their community!
Volunteers work 15-40 hours per week with flexible scheduling. Volunteers in this position must pass a background check and take a three-hour class called Virtus, which teaches adults the signs of child abuse and neglect as well as the best practices Catholic Charities follows to protect youth and vulnerable adults in our ministries and schools that work with the Foster Grandparent program.
