Tutors don’t just assist with classes and homework. Tutors serve as bridges that cultivate understanding between guardians and students who may be learning in new ways that their guardians may not be accustomed (i.e., via I-Pad or Web Based Learning), while also ensuring that the home environment encourages the forming of healthy study habits that will ensure future academic success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/a968aa5d-9efd-4435-8ae1-87fce2474bff/20220120_125652.jpg Home - Mentoring Guardians are in critical need of role models that they can identify with to help provide exposure to new experiences and help reinforce positive values. Mentors not only serve as role models but also assist children in finding and exploring their personal gifts and talents, teach them how to express and regulate their emotions and help build new pathways to a positive future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/4a9f08ef-b0e8-43f8-8371-5772aa4b53df/20220120_133452+%281%29.png Home - Make a difference. “With your help, we can provide economical, educational and mental health support to families headed by grandparents and guardians.” -Eldred Bogan, Founder https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/our-vision daily 0.75 2022-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/3408a1db-ca20-45d1-a829-0aefb9ec09e1/20220129_050658.png Our Vision - Children are our future. Grandparents and Guardians, Inc. believes without properly preparing children for the future, the increasing number of children being raised by others will continue to climb. Our vision is to make grandparents and guardians lives easier by providing economical, educational, and mental health support to them and the children in their care. Further, our mission is to help these caregivers achieve healthy parental relationships with the children in their care, while also maintaining a safe and secure living environment, by providing financial, educational, and emotional assistance to them and their unexpected, displaced children. Our focus is on both the guardians who are sacrificing their golden years, and the children who are adjusting to a new home environment and the absence of a parent(s). Our mission is to provide them both with necessary tools to not only survive but to navigate their way to a successful future for all. — Kelly Bogan, Founder https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/tutoring daily 0.75 2022-01-29 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/mentoring daily 0.75 2022-01-29 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/support-for-families daily 0.75 2022-01-30 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/our-team daily 0.75 2022-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/1643162257570-HW1YEQ6612RRYT2SDU7X/20201212_110619.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/1643163556911-Y4BKKEY1FWPA3B2DZ8SH/Fawn+Profile+Photo.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/1643163855774-VWZH6G125HKFX9JLMU76/IMG_9596001.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/1643255159407-20V5VN9XOZ0YGTR2QJV2/Screenshot_20220121-081603_Word+%281%29.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/1643833575585-PTKB43XVJGHUEOGF2SOE/20220202_142148.jpg Our Team https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/donate daily 0.75 2022-02-09 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/new-page-eldred daily 0.75 2022-01-27 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/kelly-bogan-bio-page daily 0.75 2022-01-27 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/lavina-fawn-mcqueen-bio-page daily 0.75 2022-01-27 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/melonie-magee-bio-page daily 0.75 2022-01-27 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/dr-rosiline-floyd-bio-page daily 0.75 2022-01-27 https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/partnerwithus daily 0.75 2022-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/39c98bdc-ef05-46e9-8f51-3384af7a74ea/-380aem.jpg Partner with Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/fd7e0476-b205-457f-a3e0-5db88a65827b/20220128_092101+%282%29.png Partner with Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/2018dbec-8403-472f-8d91-4af3155a15f4/20220128_102148.png Partner with Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/33c6b987-0ed2-483d-80e6-ce5308370405/20220128_102444.png Partner with Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/933f0961-a297-448b-88d2-68be4b7469bc/20220128_102506.png Partner with Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/4bb539aa-0791-40d7-8072-6775acd24cfc/20220128_102050.png Partner with Us https://www.grandparentsandguardiansfoundation.org/grandparents-and-guardians-inc daily 0.75 2022-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d4e749b53d9b755229a08d/cf8ae86a-0f44-472d-bf4a-5a377e31dc25/company+bio.jpg Grandparents and Guardians, Inc. - Our Vision. Grandparents and Guardians, Inc. is a heart and soul project birthed by visionaries, Kelly and Clyde Bogan, out of their own need for support as guardians of their 5 grandsons. The married couple began taking care of their first grandson from the age of six months, and every grandson thereafter required their care off and on, as their parents were not able to provide for them. Although financially capable of supporting themselves, with the addition of five children, the couple experienced the need for additional finances as well as other support. Unfortunately, assistance and support was not available due to their income exceeding eligibility requirements. Without necessary resources and not yet granted full guardianship, they were limited in their ability to give the boys all they deserved. After the Bogans were granted full guardianship in 2020, they reflected on the process and realized many other grandparents and guardians would experience hardships even greater than their own. Inspired with a desire to help provide assistance and resources for other families, Kelly and Clyde garnered support from dedicated family and friends and Grandparents and Guardians, Inc. was born. The founders’ vision is to develop support programs and provide counseling, family training and financial assistance to families that are headed by grandparents and senior guardians who have opened their homes and their hearts to displaced children. Their mission is to ensure the children have access to enriching experiences, education, fresh foods and other opportunities necessary to become happy, healthy, future leaders for our tomorrow. Please Join them as they work diligently to support grandparents and senior guardians and the children they have been blessed to care for.
