RSVP Emergency Preparation Volunteer Orientation

SPOTLIGHT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: EMERGENCY PREPARATION VOLUNTEER



Are you interested in volunteering to help prepare our communities
in preparation for an emergency or disaster? Please join us on Tuesday,
December 17, 2013 at 2:30 PM
at the Central Library in Arlington for
a special Volunteer Orientation where you will have the opportunity to learn
about becoming an Emergency Response Volunteer. We will have the Emergency
Response Volunteer Coordinators from Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria so you
can learn about the volunteer roles in each community.



RSVP-Northern Virginia engages persons
55 and older in volunteer service to meet critical community needs while
providing a high quality experience that will enrich the lives of the
volunteers.  RSVP recruits volunteers, assesses
their availability, and then matches their interests, skills and experience
with the best volunteer placement. As an added benefit to volunteers, RSVP
members are eligible to receive mileage and meal reimbursement, supplemental
insurance while serving, and ongoing group service and recognition events. RSVP-
Northern Virginia is sponsored by Volunteer Fairfax in partnership with
Volunteer Alexandria and Volunteer Arlington.
