RSVP 40th Anniversary
RSVP Celebrates 40 years at Triton College!

The AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer P项目(RSVP)将55岁及以上的成年人与社区组织配对,提供志愿服务. 自1983年以来,这个由美国服务队高年级学生资助的项目一直由特里顿学院赞助.

Funding for RSVP comes from AmeriCorps Seniors, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA), Leyden Township, and Triton College.

参与“回复邀请”项目的美国服务队老年志愿者可以选择方式, where, and when they want to serve, 每周的工作时间从几个小时到40小时不等. 你可以在与我们合作的数千个组织中找到一个机会,这些组织将服务视为本地解决方案, regional, and national challenges. 美国服务队的老年志愿者自己也报告说,他们为社区服务后身体更健康,寿命更长.
