Since 2001, Bill Cameron has dedicated countless hours to volunteering for RSVP of Boulder County. RSVP of Boulder County is a non-profit organization that advocates security, comfort and independence of seniors and adults with disabilities.
Cameron came to RSVP after retiring. "I heard about their handyman program. I was an engineer by education and wanted to work with my hands," says Cameron. Since joining, Cameron has installed handrails, grab bars, worked with plumbing, and has participated in numerous other projects. He also serves as a teacher who educates other volunteers on "fix-it" projects. "Every visit is special in terms of the people. It has put me in touch with people I would not have met otherwise."
In addition to the Fix-It Program, Cameron is on the RSVP Board of Directors. He also participates in the Carry-Out Caravan program, and is a handyman and exhibit design volunteer at WOW! Children's Museum in Lafayette. The volunteer experience has greatly enriched Cameron's life. "I simply like helping other people and doing it for free."
