About Monadnock RSVP
Common Good RSVP
Volunteer giving back
Monadnock RSVP volunteers are a
part of a national movement of like-minded people who give
back to their communities—and have been since 1971! Today,
nearly 400,000 volunteers serve more than 60,000 public and
private community agencies across the United States.
The RSVP program is part of the Senior Service Corps and
is operated under the direction of the Corporation for
National and Community Service, a federal agency. |

America Reads
If you can
commit at least one hour a week, you can help a
child who’s falling behind in reading. Parents,
students, seniors, business people — anyone willing
to give time to read to a child, and to listen to a
child read can be a tutor.

|

|
|
|
|
Our America Reads program in the Monadnock Area will match you with a child in
your community to read with them at their school.
You will receive training, materials and guidance to
make your tutoring experience both rewarding and
effective. |

Neighbors-In-Deed
MHere in the Monadnock Region many elderly people
with long-term health needs struggle daily to
maintain their independence. They are our neighbors:
our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and friends.
|
|
|
| |
| But all too often, their simple
needs are not met, and the ability to stay in their
own homes is jeopardized. While some have networks
of people from which they can receive help, others
do not and cannot afford to pay for services, or
services may not exist in an area in which they
live. |

Focus Areas
The Serve America Act requires RSVP to narrow their
volunteer focus to the following six areas of
service in 2014 and beyond:
|
|
|
| |
Economic
Opportunity:
Provide support and/or facilitate
access to services and resources that contribute to
the improved economic well-being and security of our
community.
Healthy Futures:
Meet the health needs in our community including
access to care, aging in place and addressing
childhood obesity and hunger.
Education: Support or facilitate access to
services and resources that contribute to improved
educational outcomes for children.
Environmental Stewardship: Direct services
that contribute to increased energy and water
efficiency, renewable energy use, or improving
at-risk ecosystems, and support increased citizen
behavioral change leading to increased efficiency,
renewable energy use, and ecosystem improvements.
Disaster Services: Help
individuals and communities prepare, respond,
recover, and mitigate disasters and increase
community resiliency.
Veterans and
Military Families:
Veterans and military
family members share a common bond and culture that
is unique. RSVP is currently seeking volunteers, age
55 and over, who have served in the U.S. Armed
Services to help fellow veterans who are
experiencing a variety of challenges with
maintaining their quality of life and independence
in their homes by providing companionship and
assistance with non-medical tasks of daily living
through RSVP’s Neighbors in Deed program. |
