AmeriCorps Seniors connects older adults (ages 55+) with people and organizations that need them the most. PASSAGES administers AmeriCorps Seniors programs within our service area to help older adults become mentors, coaches, companions, or community volunteers through the Senior Companion, Foster Grandparent, and RSVP programs.
These programs are ideal for older, active adults who are willing to tutor children in reading or be a Pen Pal, provide friendship for lonely adults, and assist community members with tasks such as yard clean-up, computer help, or food delivery. Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions, and RSVP Volunteers dedicate anywhere from 5 to 40 hours of service every week in order to ease the burdens of people who need help.
