Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 3,800 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 1,300 homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services through more than 1,800 groups across Ohio.

Whereas: This year is the 40th anniversary of the Senior Companion program which allows our elders to stay living in their own homes with dignity and safety.
