Welcome Our Newest Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative Partners!
Meet Rebecca Maletto-Cornell from Wesley Family Services Foster Grandparent Program.
The Wesley Family Services, Foster Grandparent Program is an AmeriCorps Seniors, Federal stipend intergenerational volunteer program that provides volunteer opportunities to limited income individuals 55 and better to help children be their best selves. Our volunteers act as classroom grandparents who mentor and act as positive role models in local non-profit organizations such as: public and private schools, Head Starts, daycare and child development centers and after-school programs. They help, guide and assist children by developing skills in literacy, language, math, and cognitive development, as well as improving essential social and emotional intelligence.
The Foster Grandparent Program’s focus is to meet children where they are to get to their goals. And it should always be FUN! Grandparents play games, do puzzles, interact with art and music activities and have even been known to be seen on the lawn playing wiffle ball!
