    Description

    Senior Companion Volunteer

    Some of the most powerful moments happen in simple conversations.

    We’re looking for adults 55+ to spend time visiting other older adults who could use a companion.

    You provide connection and conversation not medical or personal care.

    Through AmeriCorps Seniors, Senior Companion volunteers

    • Commit 12-15 hours per week
    • Receive a stipend and meal allowance as well as mileage reimbursement
    • Make a meaningful impact in the life of an older adult

    All volunteers receive training and ongoing support with their match from Senior Neighbors staff.

    We have limited spots available for our next scheduled orientation.

    Location

    On-site

    Homes throughout Kent County!
