Intergenerational Program Database

As a Foster Grandparent, you will use your life experiences and wisdom to help change the future for a child. Our Foster Grandparents act as mentors and tutors for children in local schools who will benefit from extra attention and assistance. Program offered in following counties: Coconino, La Paz, Maricopa, Mohave, Pima, Yavapai, and Yuma.

You can change a life by providing the individual attention that helps children build confidence and success. Opportunities are available in the Madison, Scottsdale and Washington school districts and 18 other U. S. cities. OASIS volunteer tutors are paired with children in grades K-3 who would benefit from a one-on-one mentoring relationship. Tutors are trained to work with kids using a proven approach to literacy that emphasizes reading, talking and writing. They meet with their students at least once a week throughout the school year, providing a caring, supportive environment where reading and language activities, keyed to the child’s interests, spark curiosity and learning.

AEA-Retired members through intergenerational programs with Student and Active members provide valuable leadership and constructive solutions to the challenges that face all educators and education support professionals.
