Our Mission Supporting Grandparents, Grandchildren, and Grandfamilies

The goal of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren is to find solutions to improve the lives of grandparents raising grandchildren, as well as decrease stress among family caregivers and their care recipients. With a significant rise in grandparents serving as the primary guardians for their grandchildren, it is our purpose to address grandparents’ health, education, legal, and parenting concerns while educating and empowering them through research-based resources.
