invited to attend recognition events and potluck suppers throughout
the year. The RSVP program is free of charge to members.
Volunteers choose the positions that are of interest to them and the
amount of time they wish to serve. It is as simple as that. Volunteer
where you want and give as little or as much time as you want.

Hours are coded under the different volunteer site stations and jobs for that station, to show community need and
where and how volunteers are meeting that need.
What is a volunteer station? Anyplace where RSVP members volunteer is called a volunteer station. It can be
any public or private non-profit organization or health agency.
