Who, What, and Why
History
GRIN GRandparentsINresidence
celebrates its founder's friendship with a special 9 year old, who died in the January 8, 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, holding Suzi's hand, waiting to meet their Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords.
Designed to encourage others to share what they love, our mission is to promote, support, and create opportunities connecting those who have time with those who have need. Our goal is to offer a hassle free volunteer experience, connecting the generations.
Prince Elementary School
Suzi's role as Official Adopted Grandmother of Prince Elementary School, allows GRIN to offer a wide variety of on-campus volunteer experiences
Whether reading Maurice Sendak in kindergarten or planting in the garden, helping with math centers or sharing something special, GRIN volunteers participate on their own schedules, doing what they love, when they want to do it.
Have a talent or skill you'd like to share? GRIN can connect you with students who want to learn.
Hassle Free Volunteering.... no charge for smiles.
