Senior Programs

Tri-Valley Opportunity Council, Inc. is the sponsoring agency for the Foster Grandparent (FG) program.  Our goal is to promote independence and enhance the dignity of older and disabled persons and their families through a community-based system of opportunities and services.

Become a Volunteer:
Foster Grandparent volunteers share their experiences and talents to improve the lives of children in need.  You can help children develop the skills, confidence, and strength to succeed in life.  Foster Grandparents make their neighborhoods stronger by helping children with special/exceptional needs achieve their goals.  Foster Grandparents are placed in non-profit settings such as public/private schools, daycare centers, development achievement centers and juvenile centers. Counties served in Minnesota are Becker, Clay, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau counties. Counties served in North Dakota are Barnes, Benson, Cass, Cavalier, Grand Forks, Griggs, Peirce, Ramsey, Richland, Sargent, Trail and Walsh counties.
