The Power of Retired Adults

There is a true power in the types of relationships that retirees can forge with children and teenagers which is too often untapped. We see it in our community work time and time again. In our fragmented society children too often don't know grandparents. Far too many children don't have any consistent adult role model in their life. See out what a couple of retirees started in a church and community with many similarities to our own neighborhood.
