Life-long Learning and Community Service Opportunities

Recognizing the importance of remaining engaged in society throughout life, the Center for Excellence in Aging & Community Wellness offers a variety of opportunities to older adults for life-long learning through its OASIS program and community service through its RSVP and ExcelleShare programs.

OASIS

OASIS is a unique educational program for mature adults who want to continue to grow, learn and be productive. Membership is free and open to anyone 50+ years of age.

RSVP

RSVP in the Capital Region is part of the Corporation for National and Community Service. Through RSVP, adults 55+ can choose from a wide selection of non-profit organizations and volunteer roles where RSVP members give back to their communities. Membership and services are provided free of charge.

ExcelleShare

ExcelleShare is a capacity building skills-based volunteer program within RSVP, providing experienced adults aged 55+ with opportunities to assist community organizations in improving their ability to provide services. ExcelleShare volunteers serve individually and on teams that undertake projects designed to help strengthen non-profits that serve the community. At the same time, it provides exciting and rewarding possibilities for volunteers to continue to grow professionally and utilize career professional skills in the community service sector.
