4. Supporting local historical and arts organization.
Who Are Our Volunteers?
The 870 men and women 55 years of age and over that come through RSVP's doors each year represent a cross-section of the River Valley's diverse communities. They are people like you who have a little more time and a lot more experience to give-and the energy and passion to make a difference.
Where Do Our Volunteers Serve?
Our partners range from organizers of one-time events such as the Fort Smith Classic PGA Tournament to cadres of community volunteers. We place volunteers in schools, community centers, hospitals, museums - over 100 community organizations!
Why Do WestArk RSVP Volunteers Get Involved?
Many WestArk RSVP volunteers have lived in their communities for a long time. Because the community has given them so much, they see serving as a way to give something back. WestArk RSVP volunteers discover that when they give, they gain a lot too. Studies show that seniors who volunteer live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives.
What Do WestArk RSVP Volunteers Do?
WestArk RSVP volunteers choose how and where they want to serve. Many continue the type of work they enjoyed earlier in life, while others try something completely different. As an RSVP volunteer you might build a house, make hospital visits, teach an adult to read, organize a charity event or help people apply for prescription drug assistance.
