The Experience Corps

The Experience Corps is a program that engages older adults, often seniors, in volunteer work within schools to support student learning and development. These volunteers use their life experience and skills to assist with reading, mentoring, and fostering a positive school environment. The initiative benefits both students, who receive additional support, and volunteers, who stay active and connected to their communities. It aims to enhance educational outcomes and promote social engagement for older adults, creating a mutually beneficial partnership that strengthens schools and enriches volunteers’ lives.
