Senior Citizen Volunteers

Many senior citizens enjoy the opportunity to volunteer in their local communities once they retire. If you have an aging parent or loved one who would like to volunteer, they might want to check out the Senior Corps.

What is the Senior Corps?

RSVP is a program for volunteers age 55 and over. It matches their skills to service opportunities in their community.

Senior Companions hooks those 55 and over up with an elderly, frail adult to provide companionship, respite and more.
