Through the combined energies of volunteers and agencies -
“all of us working together" we will make a difference in our communities.
Together with community partners
RSVP is able to assist the need
and the volunteer.
Americans over 55 have a lifetime of experience to share, and the desire to make a real difference in their world. They’ve managed households, been business owners and nurses, farmers and salespeople, artists and executives. Now they are ready to put their unique talents and expertise to work in their communities, and enrich their own lives in the process.
Senior Corps connects today’s over 55s with the people and organizations that need them most. We help them become mentors, coaches or companions to people in need, or contribute their job skills and expertise to community projects and organizations. Conceived during John F. Kennedy's presidency, Senior Corps currently links more than 500,000 Americans to service opportunities. Their contributions of skills, knowledge, and experience make a real difference to individuals, nonprofits, and faith-based and other community organizations throughout the United States.
Bend 2030 is a private non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, independent from the City of Bend. Through a unique private-public partnership, Bend 2030 and the City of Bend, a Lead Partner, are committed to stewarding the community's vision for the year 2030 along with over 60 Lead Partners from non-profit organizations, businesses, and agencies.

Four Priority Areas Focus on Community Impact
United Way’s Community Impact priorities help us focus our efforts in the community. The priority areas have been set, based on community needs, by a diverse group of people who are dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives. Our goal is to direct community energy and resources to areas where they will get the greatest results.
Central Oregon Council on Aging
Promoting dignity, well-being, security and independence
for Central Oregon senior citizens since 1975.
For more than three decades Central Oregon Council on Aging has proven to be a vital resource for seniors in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties. The agency's 30 employees, along with nearly 700 volunteers, provide a variety of services designed to help keep seniors living independently and in their own homes for as long as possible. Council on Aging is the local program sponsor for RSVP.
RSVP connects volunteers age 55 and over with service opportunities in their communities that match their skills and availability. From building houses to immunizing children, from enhancing the capacity of non-profit organizations to improving and protecting the environment, RSVP volunteers put their unique talents to work to make a difference.
Foster Grandparent Program connects volunteers age 60 and over with children and young people with exceptional needs. Volunteers mentor, support, and help some of the most vulnerable children in the United States.
Senior Companion Program brings together volunteers age 60 and over with adults in their community who have difficulty with the simple tasks of day-to-day living. Companions help out on a personal level by assisting with shopping and light chores, interacting with doctors, or just making a friendly visit.
