How Volunteer Programs Are Reshaping Caregiving
Article Publication Date
Summary
The Community Care Corps (C3) program recently released a brief demonstrating the positive impact of C3 volunteer programs.
C3 is funded through a cooperative agreement between ACL, Oasis, USAging, Caregiver Action Network, and Altarum. The program awards grants to local organizations to deploy volunteers to support older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers through nonmedical assistance.
As demonstrated in the brief, evaluation findings show that C3 programs are effective at reducing caregiver strain, providing meaningful respite, and supporting independent living for older adults and people with disabilities.
