RSVP, “The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program”, is a not for-profit organization that helps to enhance the lives of the volunteers and especially those they serve, in which costs nothing to join.   They are there to enrich the community through volunteer placements that utilize the talents and expertise of persons aged 55 and older.  (Retired or semi-retired), and to provide valuable services that will address the needs of the community.  If you can spare a couple of hours a week to improve your community or to offer your valuable expertise, then RSVP is right for you!!

In relation to the Aging Boomers’ potential as a community resource, is the extent to which they will embrace or enhance the quality of social connectedness.  This is where the real promise of improving the quality of community life lies, both formal and informal.  Social connectedness is also strongly associated with the health and welfare of the individuals in a community.  RSVP offers many ways to contribute your skills and knowledge to help serve your community.
