Volunteer Service Stipend Programs

Participants in the following programs are enrollees in Senior Corps, a federal program for low-income persons age 60+. Enrollees are not employed by these programs but are volunteers who receive a small hourly stipend for their service (20 hours a week for most). The stipend received will not affect any other benefits received by those who meet the eligibility criteria. Volunteers who are not income-eligible are welcome but do not receive a stipend.
