Stations
What is a Volunteer Station?
Volunteer Station is a term we use to refer to a non-profit organization that has a written agreement with RSVP to provide volunteer matches for volunteer assignments. RSVP works with over 100 organizations in Delaware County. For a complete list of stations stop by our office or give us a call. Each volunteer station has a station supervisor who will provide you with orientation and training for your particular volunteer opportunity and will be your regular contact person at the station. He/She will provide you with information about how you can be most helpful and in return, will listen and attempt to accommodate your needs as a volunteer. The relationship that develops between a volunteer and his/her station supervisor is an ongoing process of understanding and caring that enables you to grow and make an impact together.
If your nonprofit is interested in becoming an RSVP Volunteer Station, please complete the form or contact us. We’d be happy to create an outstanding partnership that benefits our entire community.
