Volunteers Needed

Volunteer Drivers and Wellness Instructors Needed in Kane and Kendall Counties.

 

RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), a volunteer program for those age 55 and better, needs your help.  Can you transport a frail and elderly senior reach their medical appointment, or transport them to an essential errand such as to the grocery or pharmacy?  Volunteers are needed to transport and sometimes escort seniors to these necessary appointments.

Would you enjoy speaking to small groups and instructing others on heath and wellness?  Senior Services is looking for volunteers, age 55 and better, who would like to be trained to co-facilitate wellness classes to be held at the Beecher Center in Yorkville.

Volunteers set their own schedule.  Volunteering just a few hours a month can open the world to a senior.  With RSVP, an orientation is provided where overviews of procedures are explained; including reimbursement policies and a history of the program.  Please call RSVP Coordinator Kathy Bjerrum at 630-553-5777 to learn more about volunteering.
