RSVP

Retired and Senior Volunteer Program

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, is a federally funded program under the Corporation for National and Community Service, locally sponsored by the Human Service Council and housed within Volunteer Connections.

Created by Congress in 1968 with the Older Americans Act, RSVP  was launched in 1971. It is designed to provide opportunities for retired and older people age 55 and up to participate more fully in their communities through significant service addressing critical community needs. The RSVP volunteers serve under several "workplans". Locally, our RSVP volunteers support workplans in the areas of Food Banks and Low-Cost Clinics. Volunteer positions are also available in over 100 nonprofits serving in various areas such as education, animal services, hospitals, museums, etc.
