Opportunities
The
RSVP Volunteer Program recruits Ulster County
residents age 55 years or older and assesses and matches their talents,
interests, skills and experience to one or more of the member agencies
which provide hundreds of volunteer opportunities throughout the
community. RSVP promotes the idea of engaging seniors as resources
in providing a core of volunteers willing and able to tackle the
most pressing community problems in the areas of economic development,
education, environment, health, human services and safety. An advisory
council assists in the overall development of this Ulster County
Community College sponsored program. |
