Senior Companions

If you're over age 55 and want to continue — or begin — your tradition of volunteerism, consider the Senior Companion Program. 

Senior Companions donate about 25 hours a week of companionship and assistance for older people who still live at home. They help with light housekeeping, transportation and other activities of daily living. Volunteers who participate in this program receive 40 hours of free caregiver training and earn a stipend that does not affect their Social Security benefits. 

Senior Companions help themselves and other seniors stay independent and active. To volunteer, call the Senior Companion Program administrator at 501-688-7477 or 800-482-6359. Click here to apply online.
