SeniorServ's mission is to nourish the wellness, purpose, and dignity of seniors and their families in our our community. SeniorServ is the largest nutrition and aging services provider in Orange County. We serve more than 2,000 older adults a day who are at risk for food insecurity, isolation and depression, with 70% below the senior poverty level.
Our impact includes reduced hospitalizations, improved health, increased well-being, and greater connections to friends and neighbors. Services include Meals on Wheels, Case Management and In-home services; Senior Center lunch programs; Adult Day Health Care Centers, and Friendly Visitors.
Students will be working directly with seniors at our sites, however they will be supervised by staff.

However, students interested in a longer term internships (80-120 hours) will need to be interviewed, background checked and have a TB test, before being placed.
