AmeriCorps Seniors - Washoe County RSVP
About the Program
The Sanford Center for Aging is an AmeriCorps Seniors grantee and receives funding through their RSVP program, which pairs Americans aged 55 and older with organizations making change in our community.
Are you 55 or older? Come serve with us! AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers who serve in our RSVP program choose how, where, and when they want to serve, with commitments ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week. We will help you find a service opportunity you are passionate about. With RSVP you can use the skills and talents you've learned over the years, or develop new ones while serving in a variety of volunteer activities in your community. AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers themselves report better health and longevity having served their community.
