Senior Volunteer Services
The "Respond and Serve" volunteer Resource in Chadron.
The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Chadron strives to provide a variety of opportunities for retired, semi-retired, or nearly retired and seniors to continue to participate fully in the life of the community through significant volunteer service. Over 500 volunteers actively contribute their talents at 80 work stations in the Chadron community with volunteer assignments covering a wide range of activities in non-profit, educational, and governmental agencies.
RSVP volunteers benefit their community by providing hundreds of community services, ranging from tutoring at-risk youth, planning community gardens, to instruction of computerized information systems and community health organizations. Through such efforts, RSVP is meeting needs that strained local budgets cannot afford.
The Foster Grandparent Program: If you are a senior and want to share your experience and compassion with a new generation, you have what it takes to be a Foster Grandparent. Some Foster Grandparents serve up to 40 hours per week and receive a tax-free hourly stipend. Volunteering leads to new discoveries and new friends. Plus, studies show that volunteering helps you live long and promotes a positive outlook on life.
