JoBeth Lewer, RSVP Director
I am looking to engage 90 Senior Volunteers in Fairfield.
Are you one of those people? If so, I would love to meet you!
You’ve gained a lifetime of experience. Now is the time to put your skills and talents to good use by volunteering through Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).
RSVP is America’s largest volunteer network for people age 55 and over. Join RSVP and you join nearly 500,000 senior volunteers across the country who are tackling important issues in their communities.
RSVP offers a full range of volunteer opportunities with thousands of local and national organizations. With RSVP, you choose how and where you want to serve. You choose the amount of time you want to give. And you choose whether you want to draw on your skills or develop new ones. Service through RSVP benefits everyone – it helps volunteers stay active, healthy, and engaged while connecting those in need in our communities with skilled senior volunteers.
With RSVP you’ll receive pre-service orientation, training from the organization where you serve, and supplemental insurance while on duty.
And remember: When you volunteer, you’re not just helping others—you’re helping yourself. Volunteering leads to new discoveries and new friends. Plus, studies show that volunteering helps you live longer and promote a positive outlook on life.
RSVP offers “one stop shopping” for all volunteers 55 and over who want to find challenging, rewarding and significant service opportunities in their local communities.
So get involved, and become an RSVP volunteer today!
You are invited to become a member of RSVP. RSVP connects individuals 55 years of age and older to service opportunities in our community. When you join RSVP, your volunteer time will be counted and help us tell the story of just how much volunteers are doing in Fairfield.! It’s simple. To help us keep track of all the good work being carried out in Fairfield, you will be asked to sign a form accounting for the time you have contributed. That’s all there is to it!
Many senior volunteers tell us that they do not do what they are doing for recognition but for what they get back: that good feeling knowing that they have done something to help another human being. We respect that. By enrolling as a RSVP member you inspire others to join the volunteer ranks and gain that good feeling too!
Call me today to set up an appointment to enroll you as the next Fairfield RSVP Senior Volunteer or stop by the Fairfield Public Library at 104 W. Adams between 9:30am-5:00pm Monday thru Friday.
