Volunteering hits five-year high 

A new national study shows that Americans significantly increased their commitment to volunteering.  Did you know that 26.7% of Ohio residents volunteer – are you one of the volunteers? 

Put your experience, skills and talents to use in your community by calling Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) today.  If you are an older adult aged 55 or better, below is a list of some of the volunteer opportunities that could be just right for you. 

• Darke County Parks is looking for people who enjoy the outdoors and being busy doing some light physical activity in the parks.  Or maybe you want to volunteer to handle the phone/receptionist duties at the Nature Center.  If you enjoy history, we can help you learn how to be a volunteer at the Log House. 

• You can help kids say healthy and happy at Kids Learning Place in Greenville.  They need volunteers to help sanitize toys for an hour or two on Friday mornings. 

You choose how and where to serve and also the amount of time you want to give.  If you are interested in many exciting opportunities call and talk with the volunteer recruiter Cheryl Stafford at 937-548-8002, or email her at rsvpdk@councilonruralservices.org . 

RSVP/HandsOn West Central Ohio is a program of Council on Rural Services …programs for innovative learning that supports children, youth, and older adults in Darke, Shelby, Miami and Logan Counties.  For more information about the agency check the Web site at www.councilonruralservices.org or call 937-778-5220.
