The Region IV Area Agency on Aging provides volunteer opportunities for low-income seniors in the Foster Grandparent Program (providing one-on-one attention and support to at-risk children and teens) the Senior Companion Program (providing assistance to seniors and people with disabilities so they can remain living independently in their homes as long as possible) and assists grandparent and other relative caregivers raising children and preserving family ties when their parents are unable to do so (due to circumstance such as incarceration, death, abuse, neglect, military deplotment, teen pregnanacy).
