Nearly all volunteers serving through the Senior Corps programs reported household incomes of twenty thousand dollars or less. Senior Corps volunteers reported significantly higher self-rated health scores, compared to older adults in similar circumstances who do not volunteer.  In addition, volunteers reported that their service provided opportunities for personal growth and a sense of accomplishment. Other key findings include:

  *   84 percent of Senior Corps volunteers reported improved or stable health after serving approximately two years in the program.
  *   88 percent of Senior Corps volunteers who first reported a lack of companionship reported a decrease in feelings of isolation.

This independent research also includes a Senior Companion Program caregiver study that highlights that respite services provided by Senior Companion volunteers positively impact the health and well-being of family caregivers.
