Who
We Are
Our
volunteers serve the community.
Retired and
Senior Volunteer Program of the Virginia Peninsula, Inc.
(RSVP-VP) has 700 volunteers for more than 100
organizations throughout the Virginia Peninsula. We
serve the cities of Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson,
Williamsburg and the counties of York and James City.
Our volunteers are at least
55 years old, with an average age of 74.
They come from every imaginable type of background:
teachers, housewives, aerospace engineers,
|
Many enjoy a few years of retirement before committing
to volunteering. There is such a wide range of community
volunteer needs that we can find a spot for just about any
experience or interest.
Many RSVP-VP volunteers enjoy the personal
touch; by tutoring school children; providing pets for therapy at convalescent centers, providing
information to visitors at the airport and being docents at
museums; transporting people to
medical appointments; delivering mail at the veteran's hospital,
friendly visiting at retirement homes; delivering
Meals-On-Wheels; staffing a crisis hot line. Organizations also benefit through help with clerical duties, telephone
reception, assisting blood drives, participating in citizen
safety patrols, serving on Boards of
Directors and advisory bodies, working in hospital gift shops and
similar activities. For more opportunities, click
