What comprises RSVP's Intergenerational Training Programs?
RSVP knows the importance of giving our intergenerational volunteers the resources and support they need to do their job well.  Two times each year RSVP and our school partners provide training programs.

Topics from previous workshops have included:

  • Writing Techniques

  • Elementary Math

Resource Library

RSVP also has a resource library and volunteers are encouraged to use it.  Volunteers may borrow books and tapes that cover a wide range of topics from enhancing tutoring practices, to understanding learning disabilities, and more.  Any of the intergenerational staff can assist volunteers in locating the resources to answer their questions.
