"A Little Time Can Do A lot!"

Volunteering

Volunteering is the “life blood” of the Senior Center. Volunteers play a critical role in delivering quality programming as well as providing options for fit, active and engaged seniors. The Center has a wide variety of opportunities for all ages to volunteer time and talents. As the gap between available resources and the needs of seniors continues to grow, Salt Lake County Aging Services believes the role of volunteering is important and we are always looking to add new programs at the Center. To find the volunteer opportunity that best suits your needs, skills, and time availability, simply talk to the staff.

RSVP Orientation

Fourth Tuesday of the Month            2:00 p.m.

RSVP stands for Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. It is a program where mature volunteers share life experience and skills to strengthen communities. It is the vehicle for persons over 55 years of age to have quality volunteer experiences that help meet critical community needs.

In this orientation, you will learn the importance of reporting your monthly hours. The county, state and federal government requires Senior Centers to track hours of service provided by RSVP volunteers. Reporting time helps to reflect the individual as well as collective community impact of volunteers. Eligibility for active volunteer status, the supplemental insurance and attendance at RSVP volunteer recognition events is based on reporting of hours.

RSVP volunteers are covered by excess accident medical insurance, excess volunteer liability insurance and excess automobile liability insurance. This insurance becomes effective upon enrollment in RSVP and attending an hour-long orientation.  This is at no cost to you and covers all active RSVP volunteers who report their service hours on a regular monthly basis. The insurance applies while traveling directly to and from the Center, and while participating in an RSVP volunteer activity.
