Be part of a community of caring, compassionate adults who choose to devote their time to students by offering support, guidance, and encouragement. One hour per week provides students with the tools to thrive!
As a mentor with Take Stock in Children, you will join a group of diverse volunteers who have worked tirelessly since 1995 to change the lives of Florida students by providing scholarships, mentors, and hope. Volunteers will meet regularly, usually once per week, with their assigned students, either virtually, in person, or a combination of both. Students also pledge to remain drug and crime free on their way to achieving a high school diploma.
We are especially in need of members of the LGBTQ+ community to serve as mentors for students.
If you are an energetic senior 55 or older looking to volunteer in your community, please consider joining RSVP! The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program is the largest volunteer organization for seniors in the US. As a member of AmeriCorps Seniors, you will be able to use the skills and knowledge you have acquired over the years to serve your community and have an positive impact on your neighbors in need.
Volunteers for Community Impact has been helping match seniors with the perfect volunteer opportunities for over 40 years in Central Florida. We are federally funded through AmeriCorps, so our services are 100% free! We also provide other support and benefits to our volunteers.
Contact us today to learn more about this and many other volunteer opportunities in Osceola County! Sharon Smith: 407-298-4180 ext. 108 or by email at ssmith@vcifl.org.

Description
We are the leading organization for senior volunteerism in the greater Central Florida area, serving Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties. Just last year, 1,186 caring adult volunteers gave 438,683 hours of service. That is more than $9.5 million dollars worth of volunteer service being poured back into our communities.
Previously known as Florida Senior Programs, VCI has been the sponsoring agency for the REtired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and Foster Grandparent Programs since 1977. Our 36 year presence has proven our aptitude for providing meaningful and impactful volunteer experiences.
VCI provides membership benefits and support to volunteers aged 55+, at no cost to the volunteers or their volunteer stations. Just a few of the benefits of membership include: Supplemental insurance while volunteering, a dedicated coordinator, and matching to find the perfect position to fit the interest of the volunteer.
