RETIRED SENIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
IN
BAYTOWN
The goal of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program is the involvement of
men and women sixty years of age and over in volunteer service assign-
ments in their communities. Program operation began in Harris County
in June of 1972. During the spring of 1976 an RSVP Advisory Council
was formed in the Baytown area. Following the recommendation of its mem-
bers, a fulltime RSVP Field Coordinator was hired in October 1976. The
responsibilities of this individual include:
- the registration of non - profit agencies and institutions in the
Baytown community which are in need of volunteers
- the recruitment of men and women over sixty to act as volunteers
- support and recognition of these Senior Volunteers
Funding for this staff position and other
and office space was to be shared between
ACTION and the local community. To date
received: ACTION
Community Resources -
Exxon Company, U.S.A.
Exxon Chemical Company
Lions Club - Wooster
Baytown Kiwanis

the following support has been

In June 1977 the position of Field Coordinator was changed to a parttime
one with the area of responsibility limited to the city of Baytown. It is
the intention of the Advisory Council to continue this position on a part -
time basis throughout the new budget period October 1, 1977 - September 30,
1978. Expenses for this period should be available through ACTION, new
state funding, and other community sources.
The request to the City of Baytown, therefore, is for $921.95 which will
cover the salary, fringe benefits, and transportation expenses of the part -
time Field Coordinator through September 30, 1977. This will make possible
a continuance of program operation without interruption until the beginning
of the new budget year in October of this year.
