Want to make a difference?
Help seniors who feel disconnected from vital resources in their communities learn about and gain access to them. Do so by either facilitating workshops for older adults throughout NYC or helping primarily Spanish, non- or limited-English-speaking clients with benefits paperwork and follow-up at this organization’s Manhattan office. While bilinguality in Spanish is required for the latter, it is simply preferred for the former (which also has a strong need for Cantonese and Mandarin speakers).
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**

Mission Statement
AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP in New York City was started in 1966 by the Community Service Society (CSS), an over 170-year-old nonprofit agency. CSS's mission is to identify problems which create a permanent poverty class in New York City, and to advocate the systemic changes required to eliminate such problems. 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.
