Strengthening Communities
Strengthening Communities
The City of San Bernardino's RSVP currently serves 50% of the San Bernardino County population
(potentially 704.314 of its 1,418.362 residents). The service area covers 8.067.32 square miles. Cities
served include: San Bernardino. Highland, Yucaipa, Redlands. Grand Terrace. Colton. The San
Bernardino mountain areas and High Desert communities of Phelan, Hesperia, VictorviIle, Apple
Valley. Hinkley and Newberry Springs.
In the more metropolitan areas. needs appear to lean more toward issues of education, health and
nutrition. community and economic development and most especially, with this past year's increase in
murders in San Bernardino County, there is the issue of public safety. The more rural and isolated
communities have needs more directly related to the human needs and community and economic
development areas. I nformation provided by the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and
Adult Services, administrative personnel of several area school districts and local law enforcement
agencies. suggest the needs of most comm unities within our service area are the same.
SERVICES WITH COLlABORATIVE AG ENClES:
RSVP will continue working with the County Health Department and the City's Center for Individual
Development (CID) to provide public information and assistance primarily within the senior
populations of our service area. Current medical information and the availability of services are
shared with all of our project participants on a regular basis through the distribution of our new senior
programs' newsletter, L.O.V.E. which stands for Living Older with Vim and Enthusiasm and also
pamphlets provided by the Community Hospital of San Bernardino. These items are then distributed

by volunteers and staff at the senior centers.
We generally participate in at least one senior health and fitness fair annually and at other events that
present opportunities to handout information on the various aspects ofvolunteer service and to
highlight the community partnerships with which our program collaborates. This includes. but is not
limited to, programs and projects under our local sponsor - the City of san Bernardino Parks,
Recreation & Community Services Dept.
SENIOR NUTRITION SERVICES:
RSVP works with the PR&CS Department's Senior Nutrition Services, a County sponsored, federal
grant funded program. Currently, a majority of our volunteers are in placements to help with the
facilitation of the nutrition program. The County has stated that with the ever increasing growth of
the senior population, it is essential for the programs to be maintained and expanded in San
Bernardino County. Not only are they vital for nutritional reasons but they play an even more
important aspect in socialization. Volunteers are then in place to encourage lunchtime participants to
join in other activities provided at the sam e locations.
Volunteers at these locations also provide the extra work force needed to help with the Health
Department's imm unization programs that provide free flu and pneumonia shots on an annual basis.
The auxiliary volunteers at the Community Hospital of San Bernardino and San Bernardino County
Hospital provide information throughout the community at various times of the year for families with
young children and provide low-cost or free im m unizations. Our volunteers serving on the west-side
of San Bernardino at the 16th S1. Seventh-Day Adventist Church provide assistance for people

throughout the community. They also serve as back up to the Community Hospital's Disaster
Program by making quilts which they have stock piled if blankets run out at the hospital.
INFORMATION & REFERRAL SERVICES
The County projects a sharp increase in the senior population as the baby boomers reach 60, with the
over 75 age group being the fastest growing age group. Statistics show that between the year 2010-
2030 seniors will account for 20% or better of the overaIl population. This means not only will RSVP
be chaIlenged to find interesting volunteer assignments, but also to meet the rising requests from our
currently established partners. as their need for volunteers increases.
In order to fulfill the ever increasing senior population's need for assistance and services, RSVP works
with the staffs of Senior Information and Assistance at the Department of Aging and Adult Services,
San Bernardino Adult School, Highland Senior Center, and the City of San Bernardino's Senior and
Community Centers. Volunteers are trained to work with staff to provide diverse, quality services and
to provide information for seniors on various needs.
SAN BERNARDINO ADULT SCHOOL SERVICES:

2006-313
Narratives
We have strengthened our partnership with San Bernardino Adult School staff. Our volunteers assist
and facilitate seniors in computer literacy, as well as recreational activities. Department of Aging
information and observation of participants have shown that participating in mentally stimulating
and or physical activities can improve the quality of life and longevity of our senior population.
Because of the seniors' participation in our programs, improvement is shown in their demeanor and
appearance, and there is marked improvement in socialization skills.
SENIOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES:
Transportation services do not serve all remote areas. Services are extremely inadequate in the high
desert and mountain communities and do not always meet the needs of seniors or individuals with
disabilities. They are generally high cost and require 24 hour notice. This is a continuing high priority
need. RSVP volunteers are currently participating in Highland Senior Center's Transportation
ASsistance Program (TAP) but fill only a small portion of the area's need. Without this transportation
alternative, seniors are at the mercy of private, high cost individuals or businesses in order to go to the
doctor, get groceries and medicine or just to alleviate isolation. RSVP will continue its endeavors with
Highland Senior Center to increase the num ber of available drivers to meet the needs of an
everincreasing client list.
Friendly Visitor volunteers serving in the remote and rural areas of Hinkley and Newberry Springs
continue to provide their senior neighbors with transportation into Barstow for doctor visits, grocery
shopping and social activities.

INCOME TAX PREPARATION ASSISTANCE:
Considering that county statistics show 72% of the elderly residents over the age of 65 live at or below
the poverty level, tax consulting and preparation are provided by RSVP volunteers at both Perris Hill
and 5th Street Senior Services Centers at no charge. These volunteers serve for three months a year
and see hundreds of people who could not afford to have their taxes done or do not understand certain
nuances of tax law that relate directly to seniors. The . clients' trust the volunteers who are their peers
in relation to age.
PUBLIC SAFElY SERVICES:
Public Safety remains this RSVP's key focus. In a county known for its high crime rate, and this year
the increase in murders and gang related violence, challenges are being tackled by our Citizen Patrols
(COPs) and California Highway Patrol (CHP) volunteers. We are continuing to work with law
enforcement agencies to train their staff and volunteers as Fraud Fighters. Fraud Fighters then work
internally in the community to educate others about telecommunication fraud, especially against
seniors.
As a normal part oftheir volunteering duties, the COPs and CHPs address other issues including
education on the proper use of child safety seats, fmger printing children for identification purposes,
vacation watch and disaster preparation. RSVP volunteers are making a significant impact on all
issues of public safety within our service area. This includes the area of elder abuse as well. We

continue to work closely with the Victim/Witness Program, the DA's office and DAAS and their staff
at Adult Protective Services as well as AARP and are looking for funding options to hold another area-
wide
comm unity training for the seniors and volunteers. We are currently in discussion with the office of
Senator Bob Dutton to work on this issue.
Recrullment and Development
Recruitment and development
Recruitment and training will be determined and developed around specific targeted efforts to meet
the national service priorities with consideration of each community's area of need; increasing the
quality of volunteer experience by inclusion in the selection of projects and planning and guaranteeing
levels of promotion and responsibilities. Opportunities to serve as Team Leaders and trainers will be
developed to oversee and assist in the effort to increase station participation and in the recruitment
and training of new volunteers.
New brochures and handouts will be the focus for this grant cycle. We wish to increase the quality of
materials currently being distributed and utilized. By designing something we can distribute in public
venues as well as volunteer training sessions, we will keep things functional and economical. Items
will need to have substantial boomer appeal and be something to entice those who are still working; to
be used as we venture out to have discussions with up and coming retirees of local companies and
businesses.
Program Management
Program management
We will continue to utilize the Volunteer Works database for updating records and files on an ongoing
basis to ensure the most current information is available for reporting at any time. Join Senior
Service Now (JASON) is currently being used for online recruiting and staff are working on

expanding the available listings.
A monthly station request for data, information & update form will still be a required report for site
supervisors to include with the timesheet submissions or check verification signed sheets. This tool will
be used to notify RSVP staff for changes to station, staff and their volunteers, as well as any specific
needs or requests they may have for the RSVP office. The form will also be used for data collection
relevant to national service priorities for outcome reporting and verification.
An annual project assessment and/or update survey will be sent to all volunteers. This infonnation
will allow RSVP to keep records up to date even more so, as well as analyze overall satisfaction of
participation and service and allows for their comments.
We will continue to seek volunteer and station collaboration and participation for fundraising
endeavors to increase fmancial resources that will be used to cover related expenses for training,
recognition and outside evaluation costs as required. We will also seek other in-kind contributions or
sharing options that can be cooperatively exchanged for mutual benefits with other partners and
community collaborations.
Organizational Capacity

Finance Department distributes quarterly financial status reports, which are reviewed by the project
director. The Finance Department also handles the financial status reporting in the electronic
reporting program s.
PR&CS Department administrators encourage attendance at seminars and training venues that
support the staff and program.
