WHITE PLAINS – The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Westchester’s Volunteer Center was awarded a just under $107,000 Serve America Act grant to continue its programs to help seniors mentor kindergarten through eighth grade children in reading and math in the county.
RSVP will use the money for training volunteers, transportation, and other programs including recruiting more organizations that focus on children’s education.
The more than 900 seniors who volunteer at RSAP of Westchester also assist homebound older adults with transportation, educating people about Medicare, providing job readiness training, assisting with ordering food, and coordinating food drives for veterans and their families at the Montrose VA facility.
