The Value of Volunteers

 Our organization’s primary mission is to provide the resources necessary to empower local residents to enact the changes they wish to achieve in their neighborhoods. In order to build such cohesive social networks, RRC recognizes the unique value volunteer service provides to communities as only volunteers can spur truly grassroots-level community engagement and activism. At RRC we recognize that the economic and physical improvements for which communities so often look will only prove sustainable if they are an outgrowth of residential cohesion and leadership. Volunteers therefore form a foundational role in our organization as they help us achieve the social and spiritual components of our mission that are requisite in sustaining all of our community development and building endeavors.

How to Get Involved and Contribute

We at RRC are committed to providing our volunteers and interns with a welcoming, fulfilling, and flexible service experience with us. As a volunteer with us, you decide the time and level of commitment you are able to provide our community as we have many different types of volunteering opportunities that become available throughout the year.

1) Foundational Level Support

You will lead and help plan the future direction of a particular program at RRC. At this level, you will be given the opportunity to engage community members and other volunteers on an interpersonal level as you become immersed in the culture of RRC and the Reynoldstown community.

2) Program Facilitator and Support

Volunteers at this level will have the flexibility to provide new and fresh material and guidance to our current programs in the form of knowledge-sharing, asset building, and institutional support. Volunteers may choose to teach a class or host a series of classes for our Youth Financial Fitness Team or volunteers may wish to plan a social gathering for our resident seniors’ Golden Cougars Club.

3) Episodic Volunteering

Actively responding to the needs of our residents often requires RRC to coordinate day long events such as neighborhood cleanups, community crime watch discussion panels, and health fairs to name a few of the past events we’ve held. These events provide volunteers with an opportunity to work hand-in-hand with locals while volunteers learn about RRC, our work, and the neighborhood.
