Experience Corps

Experience Corps
Experience Corps places a critical mass of older adult volunteers in schools and youth-focused organizations in their communities. Started in 1995 as a pilot project in five cities, Experience Corps has grown to include more than 1,000 volunteers in 14 cities across the country. Among their many roles, the older adults work one-on-one with young children, create before- and after-school programs, get parents more fully involved in schools, and serve as advocates for children and their needs in the larger community.
