RSVP Programs Inspire the Generations

Another website with program resources:

RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) of Dane County offers intergenerational programs including Foster Grandparents, folk arts fairs, tutoring and mentoring, classroom helper, and reading buddies and computer buddies.

Our local RSVP of Allegheny County connects older adults with a variety of intergenerational volunteer opportunities including Foster Grandparents, Beginning with Books, The First Tee of Pittsburgh, and more.

Thanks again to Tim Salony from the Blair County Library System for sharing the RSVP of Dane County program link.
