Want to make a difference?
Do you see the value in technology? Do you wish others could see it too? Help train youth ages 16 to 24 to in turn train seniors at senior centers, religious institutions, and elsewhere in the use of technology. Subjects vary, but include everything from the texting, e-mailing, video chatting, and digital picture taking skills some of us take for granted. In doing so, help throw open the lines of intergenerational communication and thereby make a difference in the lives of not only seniors, but youth volunteers as well. This opportunity is in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Guess what?! There are even more great opportunities for volunteers 55 and older in all 5 boroughs!
RSVP works with over 250 other partner organizations as well. If this opportunity is not for you, we can help you find another that is. Attend one of our Learn and Link events or schedule a placement interview today!
**Please note: all RSVP volunteer opportunities are for individuals 55 and older; also, most assignments are with our partners located across the City**

CSS will focus on enabling, empowering and promoting opportunities for poor families and individuals to develop their full potential, to contribute to society, and to realize social, economic, and political opportunities.
