Retired Senior Volunteer Program

Description

RSVP provides a myriad of programs and services, both directly and indirectly, through non profit and public agencies. In each area, RSVP supplies the human resources necessary to accomplish the given tasks requested by the agency. These volunteer services are performed by individuals wishing to remain active, vital and connected to the community in which they reside, developing a greater investment for future public development. In addition, RSVP provides and/or assists in the implementation of special programs to enhance and/or supplement services to the community. RSVP Volunteers are age 55 and older, who wish to continue to contribute their lifetime of experience and education by channeling those talents into meaningful volunteer work supporting the community at large. The recipients of these services range from "cradle to grave"; crossing over all social and economic lines, and addresses multiple individual needs. Agencies contracting with RSVP are diverse, representing government, nonprofit and health care organizations and complete the circle of service to Josephine County. It is through the effective partnerships that RSVP affects, and the bridge provided by the RSVP staff, that empowers agencies and volunteers alike to achieve the necessary and desired solutions to our community concerns.
