RSVP Volunteer David Youngs Honored for Extraordinary Volunteerism
Nevada Rural Counties RSVP Program, Inc. is proud to announce that long-time volunteer driver David Youngs has been awarded the James L. Pfrommer Award for Extraordinary Volunteerism by the Community Foundation of Northern Nevada.

The award, named in honor of the late James L. “Jim” Pfrommer, recognizes individuals who embody a lifelong commitment to service. Jim lived by Santa Clara University’s motto of the “3 C’s”—Competence, Conscience, and Compassion—and carried forward the Community Foundation’s guiding adage: “Connecting people who care with causes that matter.”

Jim’s legacy of leadership and community service lives on through this award. He served on the Community Foundation’s Board from 2008–2019, including as Board Chair from 2016 until his passing. His dedication extended beyond the Foundation, with active roles in the Reno Rotary Club of Reno, the Reno Rotary Foundation, and as a founding member of the Washoe K-12 Education Program.

David Youngs, a volunteer driver with RSVP for more than a decade, exemplifies this same spirit of extraordinary service. Every Tuesday, David provides transportation for seniors in Carson City, ensuring they can reach vital medical appointments, grocery stores, and community activities. Beyond his scheduled service, David has become a true companion to many of RSVP’s clients, bringing holiday meals and gifts, checking on them when they are ill, and offering friendship and comfort to those who often have no family nearby.

David is the definition of selfless service. His dedication to our clients goes far beyond driving. He brings kindness, consistency, and compassion to every person he helps, and we are thrilled to see him recognized with this prestigious award.

The Community Foundation of Northern Nevada established the James L. Pfrommer Award to honor Jim’s enduring legacy and to celebrate volunteers who continue his tradition of giving back. David’s decade of service and his profound impact on the lives of RSVP’s clients make him a fitting recipient of this honor.

Warm regards,
Molly Walt, M.A.Ed.

RSVP Round Up: September 2025

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Nevada Rural Counties RSVP was thrilled to officially celebrate the opening of our new offices on July 17, 2025. Located at 2621 Northgate Lane, Suite 6 in Carson City, Nevada, the newly renovated space is not only spacious but also thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of our staff, enabling us to continue providing essential services to seniors and people with disabilities.

The Open House was a well-attended and joyous event, welcoming elected officials, supporters, volunteers, and staff. We extend a special thank you to Architect Darrin Berger of Berger Hannifin, who designed our new space, and to Steve Neighbors and Adams Northgate, LLC, our building ‘landlord,’ for their partnership in bringing this project to life.

“This new office represents more than just a building; it’s an investment in our mission and the people we serve,” said RSVP Executive Director Molly Walt. “We are excited to have a space that will allow our staff and volunteers to work even more effectively to meet the needs of Nevada’s seniors and people with disabilities.”

Thank you all for joining us! We look forward to continuing our work in service to Nevada’s communities.

Warm regards,
Molly Walt, M.A.Ed.
Chief Executive Officer
