Celebrating Grandparents: Share Your New Grandparent Journey with NPR for Up First Newsletter

In a nostalgic tribute dating back to 1978, the first Sunday following Labor Day is earmarked as Grandparents Day. This celebration, initiated by President Jimmy Carter, acknowledges and honors the invaluable contributions of grandparents – their wisdom, insight, and fundamental societal values.

This year, we at NPR are particularly interested in stories from newly-minted grandparents. Have you recently embarked on this exciting new journey or are eagerly awaiting your first grandchild? We invite you to share your unique experiences with us for potential inclusion in our upcoming newsletter, Up First.

Please submit your responses by September 3rd.

Join us and be part of the narrative by subscribing to our newsletter, where you’ll find engaging stories and essential updates to kickstart your day.
