Volunteering with Rehabilitation Services Volunteer Project (RSVP)
As an all-volunteer organization, RSVP has no employees or paid staff members; all work, whether clinical or administrative, is performed by volunteers.
We welcome new volunteers and have a range of opportunities available for those who wish to join us.
Volunteer Priorities
Clinical: We are especially looking for therapists: PT, OT, and SLP to volunteer in our RSVP-Clinic.
Non-Clinical: We are especially looking for people to pick up donated medical equipment from people’s homes and bring them to our equipment distribution center. Examples of donated equipment that might need to be picked up include: wheelchairs, walkers, tub benches, etc. Volunteering in this capacity allows for flexibility in both time commitment and scheduling.
Volunteer Opportunities
RSVP-Clinic: The RSVP-Clinic provides coordinated, multi-disciplinary outpatient rehabilitation services to individuals with acquired brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and amputations. Services are provided by physicians, nurses, pharmacists, neuropsychologists, social workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, music therapists, recreational therapists, and chaplains.
Although we welcome volunteers in any discipline, we are especially in need of more therapists: physical, occupational, and speech therapists. We also welcome non-clinical volunteers to help during clinic (for example, by greeting patients, making copies, translating, etc.).
The patients are seen on Saturday mornings (first and third Saturdays). There is no minimum time commitment: volunteers can volunteer as little (or as often) as they wish.
RSVP-MED: Volunteers assist with phone calls and ordering simple durable medical equipment.
ORGANIZATIONAL:
RSVP also welcomes volunteers to help at other times with tasks such as program development, fundraising, community outreach, etc.
If you have a skill or an idea, please let us know! We can work together to explore ways in which you can apply your energies and talents to RSVP.
