Texas Senior Corps: provides advocacy for Texas Senior Corps programs (RSVP, Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions), their staff, and volunteers; develops information channels and resources to aid project administration; develops methods for securing adequate financial support to support Senior Corps programs; supports the Corporation for National and Community Service and its mission; and provides representation and leadership for those in senior volunteer service by working for and speaking on behalf of Texas Senior Corps programs before state and federal government bodies. Through its three programs - RSVP, Foster Grandparents, and Senior Companions - more than 32,000 Texans age 55 and older utilize their experience, skills, and talents to assist local nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based organizations in carrying out their missions. Almost 29,000 RSVP volunteers contribute five million hours of service annually to their communities serving through 29 projects. Among other activities, RSVP volunteers help local police departments conduct safety patrols, participate in environmental projects, provide intensive education services to children and adults, and respond to natural disasters. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 4,000 children and youth with special needs. There are 1,352 older Texans serving as Foster Grandparents in 17 projects across Texas. Senior Companions help homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. 1,470 frail adults are served by 781 Senior Companions through 10 projects. The 56 Senior Corps projects in Texas offer nearly unlimited opportunities for volunteers to apply their experience to make a difference in 3
