The Foster Grandparents Program gives opportunities for local seniors to mentor young students and it has been very successful recently. 

So much so that Alisha Mitchell, Volunteer Services Director with Community Action explains they are in pursuit of new funding for the program. 

Mitchell explains searching for funding opportunities is a new experience for her. When she started her position the program had an established budget, but now she finds herself looking for grant opportunities to help grow their reach.
