Answer: Forsyth County does have an AmeriCorps Seniors program. We reached out to Patricia Gilliam the retired and senior volunteer program (RSVP) director for more information. She shared the following:
AmeriCorps Seniors, formerly âSenior Corps,â is a network of national service programs for Americans 55 years and older and is made up of three primary programs â Foster Grandparents Program (FGP), Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and Senior Companion Program (SCP). Each program takes a different approach to improving lives and fostering civic engagement. AmeriCorps volunteers commit their time to address critical community needs including academic tutoring and mentoring, elderly care and disaster relief support, just to name a few.
