S2E3: Serving to Build Purpose: How Volunteering Empowers Older Adults to Connect and Grow

Fors Marsh Media Season 2 Episode 3

As adults age, many retire, become empty nesters, and are trying to figure out their next chapter in life. AmeriCorps Seniors has helped 140,000 people discover that next chapter through volunteer opportunities across the country. Learn more about how AmeriCorps has created pathways for older adults to serve and connect with their community. We chat with AmeriCorps Seniors Director Atalaya Sergi to learn how volunteering has transformed lives and how you can get yourself or loved ones on a journey that discovers purpose in service.

Atalaya Sergi is the director of AmeriCorps Seniors. She has more than 20 years of experience in service, education, and community engagement. Prior to joining AmeriCorps, she served as vice president of strategic partnerships and programming at Jumpstart for Young Children, managing AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors programs as a federal grantee.
