Beth, a Foster Grandparent in Utah, has served over 2,500 hours mentoring children. She loves seeing students’ “lightbulb moments” and says volunteering has also enriched her own life, especially after a Senior Companion supported her recovery from a heart attack.
“The kids' faces when they finally understand: I call them my lightbulb moments.”
-Beth, Foster Grandparent in Moab
