Greene COUNTY KINSHIP CARE PROGRAM
The Greene County Council on Aging has developed the Kinship Navigator Program to assist and support grandparents and other relatives raising children as they “navigate” through the various systems and deal with legal, financial, educational and behavioral issues. The Kinship Navigator is your advocate who provides valuable information and support while linking you to available community resources.
