Americorps Seniors: Is seeking people 55 and older to volunteer by serving seniors in their own homes as "senior companions". Volunteers would provide companionship in many ways, and may help with transportation and independent living support. Volunteers do not provide any nursing, caregiving, or custodial services. We understand volunteering costs money in this day and age, and so we seek to make it easier for lower income individuals to volunteer by providing a modest hourly stipend (which is non-taxable and doesn't affect other benefited programs), mileage reimbursement, meal reimbursement, etc. Volunteers' income must not exceed 400% of the federal poverty level, which is 54,360 a year for an individual and 73,240 a year for a two-person household. Those receiving companionship services do not have an income qualification and do not pay for services. Volunteers need to serve 5 hours a week minimum, but we are flexible with their schedule and how they split their hours. Up to 120 days of leave of absence is granted, so volunteers can still visit grandkids, go on vacation, or have surgery.
