Senior Corps RSVP Grants Competition
RSVP engages people age 55 and older in a diverse range of volunteer activities that deliver valuable services to meet community needs while providing an enriching experience to those who serve. RSVP volunteers choose how, where, and how often they want to serve, with commitments ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week.
Senior Corps taps the skills, talents, and experience of nearly 500,000 Americans age 55 and over to meet a wide range of community challenges through three programs — RSVP, the Foster Grandparent Program, and the Senior Companion Program. For more information, visit Senior Corps.
The purpose of this RSVP grant funding is two-fold: (1) to establish new RSVP projects in geographic areas that are currently unserved by existing Corporation-funded RSVP projects; and (2) to expand the number of RSVP volunteers serving in existing RSVP projects who will engage in new programmatic activities.
RSVP: Tapping into Valuable Assets of your Community
The VIPS Program recently featured three law enforcement RSVP Programs in an issue of VIPS in Focus: RSVP: Tapping into Valuable Assets of your Community. This issue looks at the RSVP programs within the law enforcement agencies of the Anaheim, California, Police Department; the Baltimore County, Maryland, Police Department; and the Brookings County, South Dakota, Sheriff’s Office. This issue examines how these agencies have made RSVP volunteers an integral part of their law enforcement efforts.
