The city is starting an 18-month pilot program early next year to help get seniors up and exercising. The Community Services Department needs volunteers--not necessarily former Olympians but rather those moderately fit--to help seniors achieve their exercise goals.

The home-based program will begin after the department receives a $15,000 grant from UC San Francisco. The university awarded the grant to 16 groups to help address the needs of a rapidly growing senior population. Information: (714) 671-4427.
