Who it's for

This program is designed for healthy seniors aged 65 and older who are looking for part-time work that focuses on social contribution.

You will receive a monthly stipend in exchange for performing 30 hours of light work per month. Typical roles include tasks such as cleaning in local parks or serving as a school crossing guard.

What it costs you
