Want to make a difference?
You may be able to run errands, read mail, go shopping, take yourself for a walk at will, etc., but a number of those who are disabled find some or all of these tasks difficult or potentially even impossible without the assistance of others. If you want to help and have some time to spare, sign up to come out on the third Saturday of each month for roughly four hours to do just that. Each time you assist, you will spend the first hour being orientated and the next three aiding your assigned companion. This opportunity is in Chelsea.
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**
