Mission Statement
Make a Difference in Your Community!
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides opportunities for people 55 and over to make a difference in their community through volunteer service. RSVP volunteers contribute anywhere from a few to over forty hours a week, serving through schools, day care centers, police departments, hospitals and other nonprofit and public organizations to help meet critical community needs. RSVP offers maximum flexibility and choice to its volunteers. RSVP matches the personal interests and skills of older Americans with opportunities to help solve community problems and offers supplemental insurance while on duty, and on-the-job training from the agency or organization where volunteers are placed.
Description
The Dunklin County RSVP was founded in July, 1973, and has been in operation for thirty-four (34) years. We are sponsored by the City of Malden, and federally funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service. We are a non-profit organization helping people 55 and older put their skills and life experience to work in the community.
We currently have nineteen (19) volunteer stations with 282 volunteers serving around the county.
