Senior Companion Program

The Senior Companion Program offers folks 55 years of age and older the opportunity to serve their community by sharing their time with adults with developmental disabilities. Senior Companion Volunteers devote 5-40 hours per week to helping these adults lead a more independent and productive life.

No formal education is required. What is important are life experiences and the wisdom that the seniors will share! Senior Companions will receive a tax exempt stipend and other benefits. Senior Companion Volunteers are never alone and do not perform cleaning or personal hygiene tasks. They are always supervised and serve at Day Programs with assigned North Bay Regional Center clients. Typical activities include art class, singing, playing games, going for group walks, going out to lunch as a group and encouraging individuals to reach their self-identified goals.

If you are interested in becoming a Senior Companion Volunteer  contact Melissa Slama at (707) 566-3005.
