Volunteers Make A Difference in Ulster County
This
new generation of older Americans is like no other generation before
it. The RSVP Volunteer Program is like no other volunteer program.
Through
RSVP, adults age 55 and older receive unique opportunities to share
their life skills and experience to help improve the lives of their
neighbors. Now celebrating 30 years of service, RSVP is a one-of-a-kind
network that offers adults a wide variety of ways to volunteer,
from tutoring and mentoring children, counseling small businesses,
assisting at health clinics, to teaching others to use the internet.
Other RSVP volunteers distribute food to their community's homeless
or volunteer at a variety of one-time local events.
The
RSVP Volunteer Program of Ulster County is funded,
in part, by the Corporation for National and Community Service and
is a unit of the Senior Service Corps. We are sponsored locally
by Ulster County Community College. Other funding assistance has
come from the New York Office for the Aging, Robert Wood Johnson, Faith
in Action, Ulster County Legislature, Ulster County Tourism and
from local businesses. We are members of the National Association
of RSVP Directors, The New York State Senior Service Corps Association
and the Northeast New York Caregivers Consortium. |
