Deliver smiles to the community by becoming an RSVP volunteer. For adults 55 and older.
VANTAGE Aging’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) - Columbus
Are you a senior 55 and older looking for safe, socially distant volunteer opportunities? Become an RSVP volunteer and we will connect you with variety of opportunities in the community.
We are looking for volunteers to help with our Card Making, virtual and TeleCare opportunities. You can write greeting cards, virtually share your talents (storytelling, play instruments) or make calls to fellow seniors or adults with disabilities who are homebound, feeling isolated, living alone and/or just looking for companionship. These opportunities are meant to give encouragement to the recipient. This can be a one-time, seasonal activity during holidays or performed monthly throughout the year as a “pen pal” type of arrangement.
It is a safe way to make a big difference in someone’s life. You can do these flexible opportunities in the comfort of your own home. This could be a great way to spend your leisure time during Covid, doing something safe, exciting and rewarding.
Requirements:
- Be 55 and older
- Live in Franklin or Delaware County
- Access to internet and have or able to create a valid email address
- Basic computer skills for virtual opportunities
- Has the capability and be comfortable with creating a free Zoom account for virtual opportunities
