Volunteers have flexibility in their service commitment, with options ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week.

As a local government entity affiliated with McKay-Dee Hospital Center in Ogden, Weber Human Services operates this program with a statutory match requirement of 10 percent and a budgeted match of 14.59 percent. The organization manages substantial AmeriCorps Seniors portfolio, including concurrent Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs, positioning RSVP as a key component of its intergenerational volunteer service delivery model across Northern Utah. Pre-award costs are approved beginning 30 days prior to the award date.
