AmeriCorps Program

Through our AmeriCorps programs, we bridge divides by bringing people together, connecting individuals and organizations to help communities tackle their toughest challenges. This program connects individuals 55+ with the people who need them most. Helping our volunteers become mentors or companions to people in need. Our volunteers share their job skills and expertise to community projects and organizations. Volunteers receive guidance and training so they can contribute in ways that suit their talents, interests, and availability.

The contributions of skills, knowledge, and experience of our AmeriCorps senior volunteers make a real difference to individuals, nonprofits, and organizations community wide.
