Abstract: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) seeks approval to conduct a study to assess the impact of Senior Companion Program (SCP) on clients' self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and perceived social ties and social supports. This study will include a comparison group from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) dataset developed and collected by the University of Michigan. The study will contribute to CNCS's ability to report on progress towards two of the goals of its Strategic Plan. The first goal is to increase the impact of national service on community needs in communities served by CNCS-supported programs. The second goal is to strengthen national service so that participants engaged in CNCS-supported programs consistently find satisfaction, meaning, and opportunity.
