RSVP is one of the largest volunteer programs in the nation. It serves as a “volunteer clearinghouse,” pairing talented volunteers age 55 and older with non-profit, health-care, government, and faith-based organizations that need their skills and experience.
RSVP membership is free. The choices are yours. You can design your own job using your existing skills, or try something entirely new. Share, learn, have fun, and get your foot into new doors.
RSVP members receive expense and travel reimbursement, excess medical, liability, and life insurance, plus a variety of benefits from organizations in which they volunteer.
