Recruiting Foster Grandparent Volunteers

“Being a Foster Grandparent has definitely given me a purpose in life.”

Would you like to share your talents, love, and encouragement with a child? Are you age 55+? We are recruiting caring adults to serve as Foster Grandparent volunteers in our 14-county service area across the Ozarks.  Counties include Barry, Christian, Dade, Dallas, Douglas, Greene, Laclede, Lawrence, Polk, Stone, Taney, Texas, Webster, and Wright.

OACAC Foster Grandparents serve as positive role models to children.  They volunteer with a number of nonprofit agencies, such as:

  • Public schools
  • Head Start classes
  • Schools for exceptional children
  • Youth community centers
  • Agencies for troubled youth
  • Day care centers
