This article highlights the Traveling Grannies and Grandpas Program (TGGP), an innovative program that partners children in need with a caring older adult. Since the founding of the initial program, which provided pregnant and parenting teens with mentors, the TGPP has expanded to include a school-based mentoring program. The program believes that the group of elder volunteers could have a positive effect in the face of an alarming increase in school-based problems, including substance abuse, violence and behavior issues, along with increased class sizes and more children with learning difficulties. Thoughts on the program from both mentors and the children and teens they help are included. (GCP)
