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. Persons 55 years of age or over, 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 is part of the National Senior Service Corps (NSSC), a branch of Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). It exists so that someone like you with knowledge and energy to spare can make a big difference where you are needed the most - in your own community.
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. If you are at least 55 years of age, you can participate in RSVP.
Interested applicants should call their area RSVP project office at (308) 432-4200. Project staff will meet with applicants to discuss interests and service opportunities.
