Help us provide Respite to Caregivers!

Must be 55+

The Senior Companion Program (SCP) provides assistance and friendship to older adults who have difficulty with daily living tasks, such as shopping or paying bills. Through the SCP, AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers keep older adults independent longer as well as provide the gift of respite to family caregivers.

We are looking for volunteers to provide respite to caregivers so they can attend to their needs for 5-10 hours per week.

Senior Companion volunteers invest their unique talents in improving their community. In return they receive the training and support they need to make a difference.

• Volunteers are eligible for reimbursement of transportation and a portion of meal expenses incurred while volunteering.
• A $4.00 per hour tax-free stipend for income-eligible volunteers.
• Free supplemental and accidental insurance while serving.
• An invitation to the annual Volunteer Recognition luncheon.
• Connection to free events sponsored by the City of Boston.
