Want to make a difference?
Want to make a difference in the lives of both people and animals? Through this remarkable organization, you can help New York City’s most vulnerable residents, many of whom are homebound seniors and/or sufferers of illness or disability, in their efforts to keep their pets despite financial and/or physical obstacles. Your efforts will not only allay people’s loneliness and promote their physical health and emotional wellbeing, but save countless animals from being placed in shelters, several of whom would have likely been euthanized. Whether you want to make house calls to clients or coordinate and deliver food and supply packages to them (which you would pick up from the organization’s Chelsea office), there may be something here for you.
Guess what?! There are even more great opportunities for volunteers 55 and older in all 5 boroughs!
AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP in New York City works with over 250 partner organizations. If this opportunity is not for you, we can help you find another that is. Inquire about our active opportunities today and/or ask to be added to our contact list for after things settle down!
**Please note: all of our 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.
