If you’re concerned about serving the community during your retirement years, we’re sure our RSVP (Retired & Senior Volunteers Program) staff can be of assistance. To be a volunteer, one must be 55 years or older and possess a genuine desire to serve. Volunteers perform without pay, but in some cases are provided meals or mileage reimbursements.

Pre-schools, hospitals, nutrition sites and public/private nonprofit agencies are centers where senior volunteers can be assigned special roles. RSVP’s underlying theme is, “You’ve learned a lot in your 55 years, how about sharing it with someone?”
