Be a part of a brand new opportunity!  RSVP’s Intergenerational Programs is piloting a new program this year called True Connections.  True Connections is a hybrid Computer Buddy/In-Person program that offers the opportunity to support student literacy skill development while also forging a meaningful intergenerational relationship.  Volunteers are paired with one fourth or fifth-grade student for the duration of the school year. The program provides both monthly in-person connections and weekly electronic pen pal-type writing through a blog platform to encourage a deep connection with the student throughout the school year. Program participants are asked to view a recorded training prior to the first Meetup.  Mileage reimbursement is available for the in-person Meetups.

The program kicks off with an In-Person Meetup on Monday, September 29, at 3:30 pm at Lake View Elementary.  Each monthly meetup will include an activity focused on an area of life connection. (ie: food, music, arts, literature, etc.) Weekly electronic pen pal communications continue to develop the relationship by co-creating ideas and deepening connections between in-person Meetups.  

We are looking for Middle School and High School youth (and college students) to come hang out with some great kids that have disabilities in our Citizen Advocates Respite group.  The time is spent playing in the gym or outside, playing card and board games, and just having fun! Young men that want to play basketball, kickball and other gym sports are encouraged to join us. Pizza is provided for dinner.
We ask that volunteers arrive at 3:30 for a brief orientation. Volunteers are finished shortly after 7 pm.

The event is held at Silverbrook Intermediate School.  This is perfect for youth groups and scout groups.  Younger volunteers may be allowed, with parents in attendance.

The Citizen Advocates Respite Group is designed to provide monthly respite for the families/parents of the children with disabilities so that they may enjoy time for themselves; a dinner out, time for errands, rest, etc. In addition to the adult staff, youth volunteers are matched with the students throughout the event. Being matched allows the students more social interaction at the event and provides an opportunity for the youth to learn from each other and build relationships.

Calling all who are looking for an opportunity to be creative, have some fun, and give away candy! We are looking for volunteers to support our 4th Annual Trunk or Treat at Elver Park Neighborhood Center.

Volunteers can arrive between 10am and 11:30 to set up, and be ready for Trunk or Treaters to arrive by noon. We will be all wrapped up at 2pm.

Unable to stay for the event but still interested in decorating a trunk? We are looking for a handful of decorated cars for our staff and car-less volunteers to use!
