A Project of Stanford Associates Inc.
Program helps senior
citizens serve others
by Leslie Yoder
Battalion Reporter
The needs of our senior
citizens are often overlooked,
but the Retired Senior Volun
teer Program has been serving
Brazos County for the past 11
years in a most unique way.
“Most programs are designed
to give to the senior citizen —
Social Security and Medicare for
example,” Project Director Shir
ley Plapp said. “However, the
beauty of RSVP is that people
over 60 can serve the commun
ity by using the skills and exper
tise they have perfected over a
lifetime of living, loving, and
learning.”
There are 46 active volunteer
stations in the B-CS area that
give senior volunteers the
chance to serve as teacher aides,
clerical assistants, beauticians,
puppeteers or just someone will
ing to visit nursing home resi
dents, she said.
The Lincoln Recreation Cen
ter, Bryan Volunteers in Public
Schools, American Red Cross
and Children’s Story Hour are
just a few of the stations that
offer volunteer services.
RSVP Volunteer Coordina
tor Janie Velasquez spearheads
the recruitment, orientation,
training and job placement of
the senior volunteers.
“Oftentimes, I will get a
phone call from the families of
senior citizens who want me to
go to the elderly person’s home
and let them know what RSVP is
all about,” Velasquez said.
RSVP also supplies informa
tion to anyone interested in
community volunteer service.
“We are here to serve those
people over 60 and the non
profit agencies where they
work,” she said.
Plapp said RSVP, with nearly
500 volunteers, has been a high
ly-matched program for the past
two years funded by federal,
state, and local monies. The Bra
zos County Community Coun
cil, sponsor for RSVP, provided
50 percent of the funding while
the remaining 50 percent of the
budget has come from the Texas
Department of Aging, Brazos
County, United Way, the cities
of Bryan and College Station,
A&M Methodist Church, and
the Kiwanis Club.
Last spring, a survey of 10
percent of the RSVP senior
volunteers was conducted by a
Texas A&M class under the
direction of Dr. Shirley Stone in
the Interdisciplinary Education
Department at Texas A&M.
Stone also serves as a volunteer
management specialist on the
RSVP Advisory Council.
“The results from the survey
indicated that RSVP was a major
part of the senior citizens’ social
lives aside from personal church
involvement,” Plapp said. Over
all, the results showed that the
senior volunteers had a positive
attitude towards the RSVP prog
ram, she said.
Volunteer Joe Rodriquez, 70,
has been active in RSVP for ab
out 2 years serving as a trans
lator for residents at the Sher
wood home.
Another RSVP volunteer, 78-
year-old Augustina Munoz, said
she has enjoyed self-satisfying
benefits from her six-year in
volvement in the program.
“Sometimes it just does me
good to get out of the house and
visit with everyone here at Sher
wood,” Munoz said. “People just
need to be hugged and to have
someone to talk with.”
