    Description

    🌟 Make a Difference in San Francisco—Volunteer with AmeriCorps Seniors! 🌟

    Are you 55 or older and looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? AmeriCorps Seniors is currently recruiting dedicated volunteers for two rewarding programs:

    ❤️ Foster Grandparent Program – Support children in San Francisco schools and childcare centers through tutoring, mentoring, and classroom activities that help them learn and grow.

    💙 Senior Companion Program – Provide companionship and support to older adults, helping them remain independent in their homes and at senior centers.

    No experience? No problem! We provide comprehensive training before you're matched with a volunteer site, so you'll feel confident, prepared, and supported every step of the way. After training, we'll place you at a local Head Start program, school, senior center, or adult day center based on program needs.

    Volunteer Commitment:

    âś… Age 55+

    âś… Live in San Francisco, California

    ✅ 10–20+ hours per week

    âś… Long-term volunteers are encouraged to make a lasting impact in the San Francisco community.

    By volunteering, you'll build meaningful connections, strengthen your community, and make a real difference in the lives of children and older adults. Interested in learning more?
