55+ Volunteer Management
Part of AmeriCorps Seniors, Central Iowa RSVP (CIRSVP) is a dynamic National Service Program serving Story, Marshall, Webster, and Hamilton Counties in Iowa. Established in 1973, it has proven to be a highly effective volunteer management organization, adapting programming over the years to meet emerging community needs and changing demographics.
CIRSVP offers adult volunteers aged 55+ quality opportunities to share their skills, interests, and life experiences in response to a wide variety of community needs. CIRSVP recruits and places volunteers with over 80 public, non-profit, and health care agencies. For these organizations, CIRSVP staff process volunteer requests, promote volunteer needs, recruit and refer volunteers, and follow up on volunteer placements.
​
CIRSVP collaborates with many of these agencies to provide volunteer management support in addressing identified priority community needs (literacy and education, public safety, services to frail elderly and/or low income families, disaster preparedness, etc.). CIRSVP volunteers cannot replace paid staff, but instead provide valuable support that enhances or supplements the services of an organization.
