Volunteers make positive impacts...
In Coos County, 600 RSVP volunteers contribute more than 100,000
hours serving 100 organizations. Our volunteers gave Coos County
more than $1.5 million worth of services that could not otherwise
have been provided.
Working in non-profit organizations and government agencies...
RSVP volunteers are at work at the American Red Cross, Senior Nutrition sites, nursing
homes and hopitals, visitors' centers, museums, and in schools and youth groups throughout
Coos County.
Volunteers share what they've learned from work careers and hobbies,
learn new skills, and do the types of things they never got a
chance to do before. RSVP Volunteers make a positive impact on
our community, and they find the personal satisfaction of a job
well done.
Get Answers from RSVP...
Coos County RSVP volunteers are offering other senior citizens
help with their taxes and guiding them through the often confusing
maze of Medicare and Medicaid rules. They are teaching defensive
driving to seniors, math to high school students, and reading
to children in the elementary schools. They are boosting the
tourism segment of our economy by staffing visitors' centers,
museums and docent programs. They are building homes for the
less fortunate, comforting those facing death and the death
of a loved one, visiting the isolated, entertaining in our nursing
homes, ... and so much more.
