National Volunteer Month In Lower Merion

LOWER MERION, PA -- On April 7, RSVP's Volunteer Link at the Bala Cynwyd Library welcomes the public to learn about opportunities to give back to the community from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. No appointment is needed.

Since 1973, RSVP has been the region's leading volunteer placement agency for adults.

There are hundreds of reasons why people volunteer . Every day, countless RSVP volunteers tutor struggling students - in classrooms or virtually, drive homebound seniors to medical appointments, counsel juvenile offenders, present STEM career choices to students, counsel Medicare recipients, help adults improve their literacy skills, mentor at-risk youth, provide counseling help to struggling nonprofits, read to Head Start preschoolers, lead tours at historic sites & museums, deliver meals-on-wheels, staff domestic hotlines, and so much more.

RSVP is a multiservice nonprofit organization meeting the needs in the community through volunteerism. Volunteer Impact Programs focus on the needs of vulnerable populations (such as disadvantaged preschool children, at-risk youth, the elderly, those with low literacy skills and veterans) and by providing capacity building support to other nonprofits.
