The State of Utah’s Foster Grandparent Program matches caring volunteers (ages 55+) with students who need a little extra help. To meet state literacy goals, these "grandparents" act as an extra set of hands in the classroom, providing the consistent, one-on-one attention that helps kids thrive.
Benefits to Schools
* Zero Cost: Bring dedicated, trained support into your school at no cost to your budget.
* Literacy Support: Grandparents help students with reading, phonics, and fluency under your guidance.
* Proven Progress: Last year, 84% of Utah students in the program showed measurable academic gains.
* Emotional Support: Beyond tutoring, these mentors help improve student behavior and confidence.
