How to Volunteer with RSVP
This is a quick look at how to navigate the volunteer forms you will need to submit to RSVP.
Registration
First you need to Register (either online or print out and mail-in your registration). After completing the registration process, you may want to download the Volunteer Handbook that gives you all of the detail you need about how our program works.
If you Register online - you need to still print out and sign the "Designation of Beneficiary and Photo Release" signature form - as required by law.
As a Volunteer, you are required to sign a Photo Release - we sometimes have photos promoting our programs.
Benefits
- Volunteer Insurance Brochure - It does not happen often, but when it does the results can be serious . . a volunteer is injured, or injures someone else, while performing his or her volunteer duties. One of the benefits of volunteering for Mesa County RSVP is that you are provided insurance protection in case these things happen to you. See the attached brochure for specific detail of the FREE volunteer insurance you will be provided.
- Mileage Reimbursement Program - If you are struggling to afford the cost of gasoline for your volunteer work, you may want to apply for this program. Once you apply, you will need to submit a monthly record of miles driven and time donated while volunteering for RSVP.
Time
- Timesheets - Keeping track of your volunteer time helps fund RSVP and keep our programs going. It's important and a big help to us!
