RSVP is expanding its America Reads program in the Capital Area, Perry County, Carlisle and Shippensburg in Cumberland County and Chambersburg in Franklin County. Local school districts are in desperate need of reading tutors. Almost 50% of all students in public schools are reading below grade level proficiency. Many of these students come from low-income/at-risk families; our volunteers help break the ties between poverty and illiteracy by tutoring a child! RSVP tutors visit schools during the school day and work one on one with students (kindergarten through third grade) to improve literacy. Research shows that students who demonstrate grade-level proficiency by the end of third grade have much greater success in later years of schooling.

Description
RSVP of the Capital Region, Inc. (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) is a volunteer-based organization funded by AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service. We have been serving the Central PA region for almost 50 years. We recruit, train and place volunteers in not-for-profit agencies, schools, government offices, hospitals and senior residences. RSVP passionately promotes seniors as powerful contributors to our neighborhoods and community organizations that desperately need additional human resources.
Volunteers often tap their wealth of experience and wisdom and channel it in new directions. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available. Volunteers mentor and tutor disadvantaged children, respond to natural disasters, deliver meals to seniors, transport seniors to appointments, offer free tax preparation, and more. We help volunteers give back to their communities based on their available time and interests. Volunteers choose how often they serve, where they serve and when they want to serve. There are opportunities for volunteers to serve from a few hours a week up to 40 hours per week. Make giving back your second act and join RSVP today!
