The purpose of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is to engage persons 55 years of age and older in volunteer service to meet critical community needs and to provide a high quality experience that will enrich the lives of the volunteers. RSVP volunteers have developed a lifetime of skills, talents, experience and work ethic that makes them a valuable resource in their community. RSVP recognizes the strength and wisdom of these older adults and places them in assignments that maximize and utilize their time and abilities. The Retired Senior and Volunteer Program is an opportunity to identify and provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for seniors and assist not-for-profit agencies and other organizations in meeting their needs and goals. RSVP offers “one stop shopping” for all volunteers 55 and over who want to find challenging, rewarding, and significant service opportunities in their communities.
