National Senior Service Corps

The National Senior Service Corps, also known as Senior Corps, is a federal program that mobilizes Americans aged 55 and older to serve their communities. Participants volunteer in areas like education, health, environment, and disaster response, providing valuable support and mentorship. The program aims to leverage the experience and skills of seniors to address community needs, foster civic engagement, and promote active aging. It includes initiatives such as Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Senior Companion Program, and Foster Grandparent Program, all designed to enhance community well-being while offering meaningful opportunities for older adults to contribute.
