RSVP...An Invitation to Serve

Description

Make a Difference in Your Community!

RSVP...An Invitation to Serve 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. In addition to placing its volunteers with more than 90 non-profit organizations, the RSVP of Jackson County directly coordinates volunteers in five additional programs: Call-A-Ride medical transportation program for the elderly and disabled, Respite program, SHIBA Medicare assistance program, and the Rogue Valley International Airport and Jackson County Courthouse Information Booths. 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. Mileage reimbursement is also available.
