Volunteers Serving with BCPS

Do you love teaching and interacting with children? Are you a senior, aged 55 or older, looking to volunteer in Baltimore County? If you answered yes to both questions, please join the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Baltimore County at one of two upcoming Volunteer Recruitment Round-Ups for volunteers to serve with Baltimore County Public Schools in preparation of the upcoming 2015-2016 school year! Through RSVP, volunteers directly impact the lives of children and young adults across Baltimore County by directly serving in the classroom to assist teachers with instruction; help with activities, programs, and fieldtrips; assist students with homework in afterschool programs, and much more!

As the 2015-2016 school year begins, volunteers aged 55 and older, are needed to make an impact on the lives of Baltimore County’s Public School students. RSVP volunteers help to create the best possible learning experience for students while also serving as a valuable resource to teachers and administrators. Through RSVP, you can make a difference in the lives of students throughout Baltimore County by serving in a Baltimore County Public School near you!

If you are a caring and patient individual, aged 55 or older, willing to serve six hours (or more) per week, consider joining a vibrant group of volunteers serving in classrooms throughout Baltimore County. Volunteers must pass a background screening and attend orientation before working with a coordinator to schedule site assignments.

Interested persons should plan to attend one of the two upcoming Volunteer Recruitment Round-Ups:

Tuesday, November 3, 2015 from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM in the Computer Lab of the North Point Branch of the Baltimore County Public Library System (1716 Merritt Boulevard, Dundalk, MD 21222).

or

Wednesday, December 9, 2015 from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM in the Computer Lab of the Randallstown Community Center (3505 Resource Dr., Randallstown, MD 21133).

RSVP volunteers make a difference by assisting students in classrooms and afterschool, serving in food pantries, supervising and promoting the planting of trees and cleaning of streams, leading students on nature field trips, visiting homebound seniors, preparing taxes during tax season, counseling Medicare recipients, researching Medicare Part D prescription plans during the six week fall open enrollment period, preforming internet job searches and completing on-line job descriptions, performing home repairs, advocating for a foster care child, teaching nursing home residents about their rights, encouraging dementia residents to socialize and join in activities, assisting neighbors during disasters, leading senior center classes, or knitting blankets for sick children.
