EUGENE, Ore. - Are you a people person with time on your hands? Help your neighbors in Florence, Cottage Grove, Oakridge and Veneta, as well as Eugene/Springfield—and earn a tax-free stipend of $2.65 an hour in the process.
As a Senior Companion Program volunteer, you help frail elders and adults with disabilities stay independent, by providing them with weekly visits and transportation in your vehicle. Reimbursement for meals and mileage included. You must be age 55 or better, meet low income guidelines, serve 15 or more hours weekly, and pass a physical exam and criminal background check. Pre-service training and ongoing support is provided.
The federal Senior Companion Program has been sponsored locally by Lane Community College for almost 40 years.
