RSVP volunteers are engaged in a wide range of
community services such as the Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce, the American
Cancer Society, the Civic Opera of the South Bay, the Redondo Beach Library,
Harbor UCLA Medical Center and LAX Travelers Aid.
As a part of their services,
volunteers provide clerical support, assist with mailings and provide
other form of assistance to agencies. In addition, volunteers support
a broad range of health providing programs designed to meet a variety
of needs. They serve as receptionist in medical centers and at Hospice
care facilities and greet clients at hospitals, and they help blood donors
complete forms for the American Red Cross.
Community Services make up
more than 75% of the volunteer services provided by senior volunteers,
accounting for more than 30,000 hours annually.
