Did you know that November is national adoption month? In honor of this, we wanted to share information about an amazing program by AmeriCorps. This program, the Foster Grandparent program, helps connect senior volunteers to young individuals with exceptional needs.

From providing care for children with disabilities to helping students to higher academic achievements, the program is a great way to help individuals in your community while creating lasting connections.

Plus, the program is a great way to battle isolation. In fact, the program’s senior volunteers “report better health and longevity” from making these connections and serving their community.

Find out more about the program and how to sign up by going to their official site.
