The reality store workshop for Narrows and Giles high schools was conducted this month. An estimated 6 RSVP volunteers participated in helping to teach 215 young adults the economic responsibility of being an independent adult. Volunteers gave their entire day to stand and talk to young people about life decisions.
We had 1 volunteer who is a baby boomer, began serving at the Giles Head Start Centers as a parent support group leader. This volunteer is a retired clinical counselor. Providing parenting skills and support to low income parents of head start children. So far 4 parents are participating. It is a real challenge to find volunteers who wish to work with children and parents. Our program is very fortunate!
RSVP volunteers assisted with the TRIAD senior fun day with the Giles Sheriffs Office in October. Volunteers helped other elderly seniors fix plates of food, handing them information about senior safety and prevention and assisting them in games. 22 Giles Seniors attended.
One baby boomer volunteered called other volunteers and coordinated one work day each week at the Rich Creek Public Library. Labeling 2075 books, numbering, gluing card holders into each book.
