ORGANIZATION: PRINCE WILLIAM AREA RSVP
Please visit the new page to apply.
Volunteer Prince William's Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is always on the hunt for motivated volunteers age 55 and up who want to get involved in the local community. Our volunteers help in such areas as driving veterans to medical appointments, supporting Meals on Wheels, providing "safe at home" life skills instruction to elementary school students, assisting at our local senior citizen centers and much more! Opportunities are available in Manassas, Manassas Park and Prince William County.
Volunteers must be at least 55 years old. Some volunteer opportunities will require completion of a background check. RSVP volunteers receive a mileage stipend and supplemental insurance while on volunteer shift.
Since 1971, RSVP, one of the largest volunteer efforts in the nation for people 55 and over, has matched older adult volunteers who are willing to help with local organizations on the front lines of meeting community needs. RSVP projects link the skills of the volunteers with the identified needs of the community.
For more information, please contact Jan Hawkins at 571.292.5307 or email jhawkins@volunteerprincewilliam.org. Let's talk about how you can make a difference in your community!

Description
Prince William RSVP is the premier volunteer program for adults 55 and older. Put your skills and talents to work helping to solve critical social problems.
With their time, talent, and wisdom, hundreds of retired persons are helping children learn to read by service through The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Funded through the Corporation for National Service and in cooperation with the Points of Light Foundation, this initiative marks the first RSVP program within the greater Prince William area. While Prince William RSVP has been specifically focused as a literacy based program addressing the America Reads Challenge, we are proud to announce that the program is expanding to include more volunteer opportunities. New partners include the Prince William Area Agency on Aging and the 31st Juvenile Justice Department, American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and Beacon just to name a few. Prince William RSVP volunteers choose the volunteer site, volunteer opportunity, day, and time that are most convenient to volunteer. Volunteer benefits include mileage reimbursement, cab service, supplemental accident insurance, training luncheons and get togethers, year-end recognition event, and a RSVP shirt or tote bag sporting our RSVP logo.
