Historic Warren County Ohio: Presidential Volunteer Service Awards

Pins honoring hours of volunteer service.

We have several RSVP volunteers at our museum. RSVP stands for Retired Senior Volunteer Program. These volunteers work at least one day a week at the museum at a variety of tasks. They are extremely valuable staff members and make a huge difference in the quality of service we can offer our guests. We encourage everyone to check out the RSVP program. Contact

The RSVP program has had a 20% funding cut this past year and has had to delay its appreciation banquet until later in the year. In the past, volunteers could get some mileage reimbursement for driving to their volunteer destination, but that too has gone by the wayside.

That doesn't seem to matter however. The people signed up with the RSVP program seem to be happy with their work and the satisfaction they get from providing service to the museum seems to be enough compensation.

The local RSVP program managed by Warren County Community Services, may be short of funds this year, but they will be able to recognize local RSVP volunteers through the Presidential Volunteer Service Award program. Most of our volunteers will qualify for the Silver Medal award. See the criteria below.
