RSVP... The Experience of a Lifetime

What is RSVP?

A nationwide volunteer program, RSVP invites adults 55 and over to use their skills to answer the call of their neighbors in need.

Giving anywhere from four to 40 hours per week, RSVP volunteer help solve serious problems in their communities.

Do You Have What it Takes?

RSVP Volunteers:
Are 55 or older
Can volunteer at least a few hours every week; and
Enjoy working with others to solve community problems.

Today's adults are busy, productive people. After retirement, many RSVP volunteers use their experience to tutor and mentor children, counsel small businesses, assist at health clinics and teach other seniors to use the Internet. Others distribute food to their town's homeless or volunteer at a variety of one-time community events. They want to keep active in ways that make a difference for those in need.
