Are you looking for a place where you can volunteer with seniors? All Seniors Care is reinstating its Volunteer Scholarship Programming! Once again, we’ll be providing financial help to our regular student volunteers who donate their time to retirement communities.
Volunteers at retirement residences bring their talents, skills, and energy to brighten the days of seniors, help out, and provide companionship. In return, The All Seniors Care Scholarship aims to give back with financial help for college or university tuition.
How the All Seniors Care Scholarship Works
Eligible participants must be students in high school, college, or university, and volunteer at least 2 hours a week (i.e., in one dedicated program a week) for one full year.
Here’s a breakdown of how much scholarship money you can receive depending on how much you volunteer:
- 2 hours of volunteering / week: $1000 scholarship
- 4 hours of volunteering / week: $2000 scholarship
- 6 hours of volunteering / week: $3000 scholarship

The Benefits of Volunteering with Seniors
Volunteering at retirement homes for seniors is an excellent way to give back to the community. It’s a chance to foster a unique relationship with senior citizens, learn about their lives and history from a personal perspective, and develop potential skills for later in life.
In addition to helping the community, you’re also helping yourself. Volunteer work makes you a more attractive hire to potential employers; 73% of employers say they look for volunteer experience on a resume.
