Senior Corps Initiatives
The following lists provide examples of how Senior Corps volunteers
are addressing critical community needs across the United States. Each
list identifies a specific issue and describes approaches being taken
by Senior Corps projects all over the country to address that issue.
New initiative lists are
created as current events unfold creating needs that senior volunteers
are well positioned to address. (For this reason, these issue lists do
not always correspond with our pre-defined “Service Categories” or
“Issue Areas.”)
