Common Good RSVP

Description

Part of the Corporation for National and Community Service (Set up in 1991 - www.Serve.gov), we exist under the same umbrella as AmeriCorps, Foster Grandparents, Learn and Serve America, and Vista. In our case, we are part of a large national network of RSVP chapters that work on a local and regional basis to help age 55+ Americans find volunteer opportunities. This 40-year program brings these individuals closer to their communities, keeps them active and involved, and, in large part, healthier both mentally and physically. Our volunteers are life-time members who call the shots about where they want to serve. But they do so with great passion for their communities and the agencies they assist. It's a great program to promote "intergenerational" projects and get younger generations involved as well.
