CESA 10 Foster Grandparent Program

The CESA 10 Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) pairs Foster Grandparents with students to serve as role models, mentors, tutors, and friends. Foster Grandparents are income qualified adults who are at least 55 years old. They work in classrooms during the school day under the direction of teachers on tasks such as reading, practicing math facts, and spelling words.

Due to the efforts of the CESA 10 Foster Grandparent Coordinator, and support by CESA 10 districts, this program has continued despite recent changes in state methods of funding. This program has been honored as a Daily Point of Light recipient for being an exemplary model for inter-generational relationships.
