If you enjoy reading to children, please consider Service thru Story-Time. A Goodfellow AFB door of opportunity has opened to RSVP. The Child Development Center has welcomed RSVP volunteers with open arms! Imagine yourself reading a book to a four-year-old, their eyes wide open with excitement as the colorful picture you’re creating unfolds in their creative mind...imagine assisting these little hands through an activity which relates to the book they’ve just encountered... Our goal is to take a book and activity to these children as often as possible, possibly every other month or at minimum once a quarter. Help open the imagination of a child’s mind... The benefits of reading to a child: 1) helps build a strong relationship with you, 2) promotes academic excellence, 3) improves basic speech skills, 4) demonstrates the basics of how to read a book, 5) allows them to grasp the fundamentals of language, 6) use of logical thinking skills, 7) enables an easier transition for life experiences, 8) better communication skills, 9) enhanced concentration and discipline, and finally 10) knowledge that reading is FUN!
Volunteers will help with sessions by reading to the group, leading discussions, crafts and other activities.

Mission Statement
The mission of RSVP:
RSVP has the dual purpose of engaging persons 55+ and older in volunteer service to meet critical community needs and to provide a high quality experience that will enrich the lives of the volunteers.
Description
RSVP was established in 1971 under the ACTION program, and has been operating in San Angelo and Abilene for numerous years under the local sponsorship of the West Texas Rehab Center. Part of the Corporation for National Service (CNS), RSVP exists nationwide, in order to engage the skills and energy of persons 55+ years (you don't need to be retired) to volunteer in the community.
RSVP Volunteers receive a free newsletter packed with local information, and free personal and excess liability and accident insurance. The personal and excess liability coverage is provided during your assigned volunteer duties. Volunteers are also invited to seasonal recognition events and parties. RSVP is free to join and is a great way to connect with the life of the city.
How do we do this? We partner with 120+ non-profit agencies in the locality, by annual agreement, allowing RSVP, as an umbrella organization, to offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities and experiences to members.
