Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
|
The
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program was funded in January of 2001 to
serve the Dickinson and Iron County area.This program is part of the
National Senior Service Corps of the Corporation for National Service.
The mission of RSVP is to engage adults aged 55 and older in volunteer
service to meet critical community needs, and to provide high quality
experiences to enrich volunteers' lives.
RSVP matches volunteers to a variety of public and non-profit agencies
according to their skills, interests, and available time. RSVP is a very
flexible program and is adaptable to suit each unique volunteer and
volunteer station. |
