Retired Senior Volunteer Program, (RSVP)

Last updated on August 7, 2008

The Retired Senior Volunteer Program links the skills of the volunteers with identified community needs. The volunteers determine how many hours a week they can serve. RSVP volunteers do not receive any stipend, but the RSVP project may reimburse them for certain out-of-pocket costs associated with their service activities. In addition, RSVP volunteers receive accident, personal liability, and excess automobile insurance, as well as community recognition.

Description:
The Retired Senior Volunteer Program, one of the largest volunteer efforts in the nation, since 1971 has matched local problems with older Americans who are willing to help. Locally we work with over 80 different non-profit agencies. We offer retired or senior adults a wide variety of volunteer opportunities.

History:
The RSVP program is over thirty years old and has partnered with 100 different non-profit agencies to meet communities' critical needs. The program currently hosts a volunteer base of over 500 volunteers.
