š Big News from Seniors in Service!
Weāre excited to announce that Seniors in Service has been awarded an $83,750 AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP grant, expanding opportunities for adults age 55 and older to serve their communities while supporting family caregivers throughout Northern Nevada.
This award also marks an exciting milestone for our organization. Seniors in Service now proudly sponsors all three AmeriCorps Seniors programs:
ā Foster Grandparent Program (FGP)
ā Senior Companion Program (SCP)
ā RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program)
Weāre currently recruiting volunteers age 55 and older to provide companionship and respite support for older adults and their caregivers.
You donāt need medical experience, just a caring heart! Volunteers may:
- Play board games or cards
- Work on puzzles
- Read together
- Visit and chat
- Share hobbies and interests
- Provide friendly companionship while caregivers take a well-deserved break
Family caregivers often spend countless hours caring for loved ones, leaving little time to care for themselves. Even a few hours of companionship each week can help reduce caregiver burnout while bringing connection and joy to an older adult.
If youāre 55 or older and looking for a meaningful way to give back, weād love to hear from you!
