If you are an older adult looking to make a difference in the life of a young person, a central Illinois non-profit would like you to consider a program they have for that.

Breann Titus is the Director of Agency Development for Community Action and explains the 'Foster Grandparents' program pairs an older adult with young people with special needs.

According to Titus, there is the opportunity for a financial stipend and stresses it will not interfere with any other income sources you may rely on.

Titus feels the 'Foster Grandparents' program is a great opportunity for older adults who may be struggling emotionally to connect with young people and make a difference. Coming out of COVID where many seniors have been isolated, this is a great opportunity for them to find meaningful connections again.

Titus points anyone wanting more information to call 217-732-2159 and ask for Melissa. You can also visit capcil.info and follow along for all things Community Action on Facebook.
