General Information:
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program
helps individuals age 55 and older put their skills and life
experience to work for their communities. RSVP volunteers serve from
a few hours to forty hours a week. They do a lot within our
community helping Non-profits, private, public community
organizations and assisting many other great projects. However they
choose to serve, RSVP volunteers meet community needs and make a
lasting difference. RSVP promotes the engagement of older persons as
community resources in planning for community improvement and
delivering volunteer services.
Why Volunteer?
RSVP members make a difference in the lives
of those in need. With each new experience, volunteers meet new
people and work to solve new problems, creating solutions that
benefit everyone. Living a satisfying and fulfilling life means
helping others, staying involved, giving back to the community and
having fun. RSVP offers the chance to do all of these!
RSVP is a completely FREE program. You are
not expected to buy uniforms, nor do you obtain any kind of
obligation whatsoever. The program allows you to choose when and
where you volunteer. Furthermore, you will receive free volunteer
placement and supplemental accident and liability insurance (when
you are on your way to volunteer, during your volunteer time, and on
your way home).
Benefits to becoming a volunteer
- Supplemental accident and liability insurance
- The satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference
- Optional mileage reimbursement
- Annual Appreciation/Recognition Luncheon
