GrampsCorp is your moment to do something different, to get involved in the community, and to stop complaining about what AOC is wearing and maybe help out some actual millennials who are struggling to pay rent. Join GrampsCorps and see the world outside of the cable news cycle and your FaceBook feed. As a GrampsCorps member, you can inspire a kid to reach for a brighter future, build a house for a family in need, and reflect upon all the ways your generation benefitted from low college tuition and affordable housing before you voted for a government that completely dismantled the American Dream for the rest of us. Rebuild a community after disaster strikes instead fantasizing about a border wall for a disaster that doesn’t exist. Help a teen find a home, a job, a mentor, or any remaining resource that you typically refer to as an “entitlement.” GrampsCorp is your chance to be a part of something that your kids won’t dread hearing about at Thanksgiving. For the love of God, stop watching Fox News for five minutes and visit GrampsCorp today.

GrampsCorps is the only volunteer network in the nation for baby boomer men who regularly watch Sean Hannity.  Volunteers redirect their frustrations stoked by sensationalized news stories about hispanic lesbians marching for equal pay in Vermont into the energy needed to support actual initiatives strengthening their own communities. GrampsCorps members help create opportunities for younger generations, improve education instead of voting to cut it, and interact with real human beings from alternate information bubbles. The program’s mission is to foster intergenerational connections while giving baby boomers a purpose other than posting fake stories about Hillary Clinton’s deep state mafia ring because holy shit I can’t take it anymore, Dad!

***GrampsCorps is a fictional organization that is in no way affiliated with the Corporation for National & Community Service. GrampsCorps does not exist.
