Since 1995, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program has been serving Chenango County. RSVP has given seniors, 55 and older, opportunities to provide volunteer services to non-profit organizations and remain active and involved in the Chenango County community.

Some of the organizations that benefit from their expertise are: Hospice, American Red Cross, Head Start, New York State Veteran’s Home, Valley View Manor, Girl Scouts, Northeast Classic Car Museum, Area Agency on Aging, Big Brother/Big Sister, and Habitat for Humanity . RSVP draws on a valuable community asset: the wisdom and life experience of its’ elders.

In the fall of 2001 RSVP volunteers implemented the Barney Pals curriculum at Head Start sites. Each volunteer took an interactive “Barney” to present a program to the children.

The community also benefits from the RSVP Osteoporosis Prevention exercise class, computer training, and the Smoke Detector give away program. All services are free and provided by RSVP Volunteers.
