Abstract
Grandparents are a vital part of society and in the lives of their children and grandchildren. They are contributors to both community and community culture, through sharing their wisdom and strength. Grandparents can be involved in the community in many ways, including spending time with their children and grandchildren, volunteering with community organizations and fundraisers, and attending church.
