Foster Grandparent Program seeking volunteers
The Foster Grand
parent Program is sponsored
by Community Counseling
Solutions in Heppner and is
a member of the Umatilla/
M orrow C ounty United
Way.
Volunteers are con
sidered to be supplemental
reading volunteers and w ill
be assigned to students
(identified by teachers) who
are struggling with reading
and need extra one-to-one
assistance. Volunteers help
students practice reading
and sounding out words.
They also help with com
prehension, vocabulary,
spelling, and writing. Vol
unteers may work in small
groups, or one-to-one. Vol
unteers may “pull out” a
student from a classroom
for reading practice, or
they may “push into” a
classroom and serve their
assigned students inside a
classroom.
Foster Grandparent
volunteers are not teacher
aides and cannot correct
papers, do billboards, or
sharpen pencils. Each vol
unteer will work with 10
to 15 selected students on
a one-to-one basis during
the school year, giving 20
to 30 minutes to each child.
Foster Grandparents give
20 - 40 hours per week
(m inim um 15 hours) o f
reading assistance under
the supervision of a volun
teer station (i.e., a school
district, school. Head Start
Program, etc.). The goal is
to help youngsters with the
greatest need to become
independent readers by
the end of the third grade.
However, the program has
expanded services to in
clude middle school and
high school to include those
children with deficient read
ing skills. Foster Grandpar
ents receive training and
orientation in reading skills.
The program presently has
working agreements with
approximately 25 schools
and/or school districts.
The FGP Program
provides low-income senior
volunteers the opportunity
to “give back” to their com
munity. Foster Grandparent
volunteers receive a stipend
of $2.65 per hour to cover
any expenses associated
with volunteering. The sti
pend is non-taxable and
is not considered income
when computing income
for other federal/state pro
gram eligibilities. In ad
dition, volunteers receive
transportation assistance to
and from volunteer sites,
orientation, in-service train
ing, and insurance coverage
(accident, liability, and ex
cess auto insurance) while
serving as a volunteer.
To become a Fos
ter Grandparent volunteer,
one must: be at least 55
years of age; be in good
health and able to pass
a physical exam; pass a
background check; and pass
a criminal history review.
Volunteers must also meet
an incom e guideline as
follows: 1 person house
hold - $1805 monthly; 2
person household - $2429
monthly; 3 person house
hold - $3052 monthly; and
4 person household -$3675
monthly.
For more informa
tion contact John Brenne,
project director of the Fos
ter Grandparent Program, at
