AmeriCorps Seniors in Utah
You've build a lifetime of experience. Now share it.
Utah’s communities are stronger because of the wisdom, compassion, and dedication of older adults who choose to serve. Through AmeriCorps Seniors, individuals age 55+ turn a lifetime of skills and experience into meaningful impact — supporting students, assisting older adults, and meeting critical community needs.
Our Impact
In 2025, Utah’s AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers used their skills and experience to strengthen communities, support children and older adults, and meet critical local needs — improving the lives of thousands across the state.
Who can serve?
AmeriCorps Seniors is open to individuals age 55 and older. Volunteers in the Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent programs must meet income eligibility guidelines (at or below $2,660 per month for a one-person household or $3,606 per month for a two-person household; medical expenses may be deducted). The RSVP program does not have income requirements.
How can I serve?
