RSVP is an AmeriCorps Seniors Program that supports volunteers and enhances the volunteer experience. RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) provides volunteers that are 55 and older with excess medical, volunteer liability, and auto insurance to, from, and while volunteering. Volunteers turn in monthly timesheets to show they are still active and are eligible for timesheet drawings to win a prize every month. We support our volunteers through other such activities to show recognition and appreciation!
RSVP serves as a hub for volunteer opportunities, partnering with various organizations in and around Sedgwick County. Opportunities include assisting with meal deliveries, supporting various organizations around town with events/programming, sewn/handmade goods for needy populations, tax preparation, helping older adults to manage money, supporting the Red Cross, and serving with the Rural Transportation Program which provides transportation to older adults over 60 in rural parts of Sedgwick County. We have many other opportunities - just call us and we can provide you with a list!
If you are already actively volunteering, give us a call and we can let you know if we have an agreement on file with your organization. If you would like to receive some of these benefits and perks of being an RSVP volunteer and we do not currently have an agreement with your organization on file, I would be happy to try to obtain the agreement so that you can join our crew. :)
