AmeriCorps Seniors

Pepperdine GSEP Foster Grandparent Program

The purpose of the Foster Grandparent Program is to provide children and older adults a chance to grow together through one-on-one daily attention that Foster Grandparents provide to help young people grow, gain confidence, and become more full and productive members of society.

Our vision for the 2021-2022 program year is Servant Heart. Our vision is informed by 1 Peter 4:10, which encourages that: "Each of [us] should use whatever gifts [we] have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
