The White House asked our “Foster Grandparents” — senior volunteers who mentor children — to participate in the annual Easter Egg Roll. Our team helped children navigate the Rose Garden during the event, especially children with special needs. What a glorious day!
Then the White House staff invited our Foster Grandparents to return. President Biden’s team didn’t just want to offer thanks — they also asked for our seniors’ advice on how to improve inclusion in federal programs for children, seniors, and others. Our Foster Grandparents’ wisdom led to a spirited discussion that will spark ongoing engagement with the White House.
While all of this excitement is happening, we continue to train seniors in computer literacy thanks to people like you with generous hearts. Our seniors want to be the best possible mentors for children in Title 1 schools — the kids who need the most help in literacy, math, motor skills, and social-emotional skills.
Your support gives our seniors a skill set that enhances their lives and helps them shape our future, because that’s what children are!
