Lead With Experience!
About Our Program
RSVP of Jefferson County is a volunteer association of people age 55 and better who apply their skills and life experiences to work in our communities. Our goal is to promote volunteerism and match the skills, knowledge and experience of individuals to meaningful volunteer work that has a positive impact on the community.
Volunteers join as members and the RSVP program provides placement, support, benefits and recognition. RSVP utilizes these support strategies to enable and validate the importance and impact that RSVP member volunteers make in their community. RSVP of Jefferson County works in partnership with many local nonprofit agencies to assist volunteers in finding opportunities that address community needs.
Any person age 55 and greater may apply to enroll and participate in RSVP. There are no income, education or experience requirements to become a member volunteer.
Why join RSVP?
We offer opportunities to apply your skills and experience to meet real community needs, ease the burden of organizations and individuals, and build stronger communities within Jefferson County.
RSVP volunteer opportunities are pre-screened. We know that our partners— high-impact community organizations—provide good volunteer experiences.
We are able to offer additional volunteer opportunities to new or existing volunteers who may wish to explore additional placements or new opportunities for service. A professional Volunteer Coordinator will explore various opportunities with you as well as to provide follow-up and support as needed.
We research and offer volunteer-specific benefits including print and electronic newsletters, supplemental liability insurance, Active Minds® lectures in addition to other educational opportunities and recognition events.
Your volunteer service affords us the opportunity to honor the work of our community volunteers. By reporting your volunteer hours, you also magnify the impact of your volunteer service.
Finally, by volunteering, you give yourself a feeling of self-satisfaction, improved physical health from being actively engaged in positive acts of service, and an opportunity to use your current skills, learn new skills, and stay connected to your community.
What Can I Do?
RSVP volunteers do just about anything you can imagine.
For nearly 40 years, volunteers have been making a difference in communities through RSVP of Jefferson County, which is sponsored by the Seniors’ Resource Center. Last year alone nearly 1,000 volunteers contributed over 160,000 hours of service in a vast range of impact areas including adult and child literacy, cultural and artistic sites, senior assistance, nutrition programs, environmental education, emergency preparedness, community service groups, and other human needs.
Jefferson County RSVP volunteers serve as docents at cultural centers, assist clients at food banks and congregate meal sites, deliver meals to seniors, help out with home repairs, provide intergenerational mentoring and tutoring, help police and law enforcement, and help protect parks, animals and historic sites.
