SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM

Senior Companions provide friendship and regular visits to older adults who may be isolated—whether living at home or in a nursing facility—offering the warmth and connection of someone who cares!

Through regular visits, Senior Companions offer friendship, share stories, assist with daily tasks, and brighten the day of those they serve. The Companion also extends their kindness to residents in nursing homes who may not have regular visitors, ensuring they feel valued, heard, and connected to their community. Their presence brings comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging to those who need it most.

  • Are you 55 or older? This opportunity is for you!
  • Make a difference by volunteering between 15 to 20 hours per week—flexible and rewarding!
  • Income eligibility applies.
  • Earn a non-taxable stipend of $4.00 per hour as a thank-you for your time.
  • We’ve got you covered! Mileage reimbursement is provided for travel to and from your service site.

Words From our Volunteers...

"I love making our residents smile. Bringing them joy, love listening to their stories and helping them any way I can, even if they just need a hug."

"I love working with other seniors. I love the way they smile... it is also very helpful for me. I leave there feeling wonderful for the rest of the day."

"I am always proud to be an AmeriCorps Senior Companion."
