SCP Spotlight

Linda Testimonial“You can’t have too many friends. If somebody was interested in volunteering here, I think they would find it very rewarding just knowing that you’re helping people.” – Linda, Senior Companion

Senior Companion Program

The Senior Companion Program (SCP), part of AmeriCorps Seniors, is a service initiative for people age 55 or older to provide assistance and friendship to elderly, homebound individuals. Senior Companions provide the services that the elderly need to live independently, including:

  • taking care of simple chores
  • providing transportation to medical and other appointments and outings
  • offering contact to the outside world

Making Independence a Reality

Nearly 90 percent of clients said their Senior Companions help them remain living in their own homes and they are more satisfied with their lives as a result.

What Are The Benefits?

In addition to the opportunity to make a difference, our Senior Companions receive:

  • a tax-free stipend of $3.00 per hour and mileage reimbursements
  • supplemental insurance coverage while volunteering
  • 20 hours of pre-service orientation and 2 hours of monthly in-service training
  • personal and holiday leave

Where Can You Volunteer?

The Senior Companion Program is available in the following locations:

  • Coconino County
  • Maricopa County
  • Mohave County
  • Navajo County
  • Yavapai County
    • Prescott/Prescott Valley/ Chino Valley
