Grant Summary and Timeline: The Sedgwick County Department on Aging (SCDoA) has been the sponsor of the RSVP Volunteer Program since 2003. SCDoA would like approval to accept this one-time technical assistance grant for program building and training. The grant funds will be used for volunteer training for the Kansas Support Service for Elders (KSSE) program and to increase funding for the volunteer transportation program within Sedgwick County.
