Foster Grandparent Program (Kankakee School District #111)

The Foster Grandparent Program enables income-eligible persons aged 55 and over to remain physically and mentally active and to enhance their self-esteem through continued participation in needed community services. Children with either exceptional or special needs are offered support to achieve improved, mental, emotional, and social development thereby aiding them in reaching their behavioral and academic goals. Stipends and other benefits are available to enable eligible persons to participate as Foster Grandparents without cost to themselves. If interested, contact Karen D. Harrison, FGP Director or Valerie Snow, FGP Coordinator at (815) 937-5065
