AmeriCorps Seniors Programs
Catholic Charities West Michigan understands the value of seniors in our community and is pleased to sponsor the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent and AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Programs.
The mission of AmeriCorps Seniors is to engage persons ages 55+, particularly those with limited incomes, in volunteer service to meet critical community needs.
AmeriCorps Seniors strives to provide a high-quality experience that will enrich the lives of the volunteers and those they serve.

Senior Companions
The AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Program provides support and companionship to those that need increased assistance for daily living tasks and helps to improve their quality of life. The program aims to keep seniors independent longer and to provide assistance to families and caregivers.
AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Volunteers serve 15-40 hours per week helping an average of 2-4 adult clients. AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companions serve in their own local community in clients’ homes as well as senior centers and living facilities.
