Senior Companion Program

Seniors Helping Seniors
Senior Companions are active older adults with limited incomes who provide support to homebound seniors living independently in their own homes.

AmeriCorps Seniors  & Happy 50 Plus Foundation jointly give you the opportunity to put all your life skills to good use and make a positive impact in your own community. Serving with AmeriCorps means connecting with others, giving back, and  staying physically and mentally active.

Volunteers are eligible to receive a stipend for their volunteering if they meet income eligibility requirements.
