Linda Otto: Grandmas2Go

Have you ever found yourself wondering if you could adopt a grandmother? Or maybe you felt that you were missing the opportunity to grandmother young children? In Southern Oregon, Linda Otto recognized an urgent gap in the programming that was being developed for families in need and decided to recruit older women to serve as surrogate grandmothers, or coaches, for new families that needed a little extra support. In this episode, Linda shares about her own experiences that led to the Grandmas2Go program, and gives practical advice for other older women changemakers who might be looking for a similar challenge.
