• Errands: Accompany individuals on grocery runs, store pick-ups, and similar outings.

Why you should become a Papa Pal:

• Pay: Earn up to $22/hr* based on visit type and location (typical earnings range from $13-$17/hr with opportunities for bonuses)
• Flexibility: Choose which visits to accept and work when it fits your life
• Purpose: Start the year strong by making a lasting difference in someone’s life

Requirements:

• 21 years of age or older
