Tapping the Rich Experience, Skills, and Talents of the 55+ Population

Through grants and other resources—including the energy and efforts of citizens age 55 and over—Senior Corps helps meet the needs and challenges of America’s communities. Grants administered through Senior Corps provide funding for three special programs:

Foster Grandparents
As a Foster Grandparent, you're a role model, a mentor, and a friend. Serving at one of thousands of local organizations -- including faith-based groups, Head Start Centers, schools, and other youth facilities -- you help children learn to read, provide one-on-one tutoring, and guide children at a critical time in their lives.

Senior Companion Program
By becoming a companion to a frail person, you help that person stay in their own home. Whether you're giving families or professions caregivers much-needed time off, running errands, or simply being a friend, you'll make a difference that strengthens and helps preserve an individual's independence.
