Volunteer with AmeriCorps Seniors
The AmeriCorps Seniors Programs – Senior Companions and RSVP – offer individuals who are 55 years of age and older an opportunity to give back to their communities, connecting them with the people and organizations that need them most.
Conceived during John F. Kennedy's presidency, Senior Corps currently links more than 270,000 Americans to service opportunities. Their contributions of skills, knowledge, and experience make a real difference to individuals, nonprofits, and faith-based and other community organizations throughout the United States.

Examples of Opportunities Include:
- Be a companion to frail older adults who are living in their own homes or apartments
