RSVP (Retired & Senior Volunteer Program)

RSVP is focused on providing older Americans with opportunities to apply their life experience to meeting community needs.

It is the mission of RSVP to: (1) To provide seniors over the age of 55 with meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunities so they may remain productive citizens and (2) to help local non-profit organizations maintain their service to the community through the efforts of dependable motivated volunteers.

RSVP volunteers serve in a diverse range of non-profit organizations, public agencies, and faith-based groups. As befitting an agency that serves the senior population, RSVP is the leading volunteer program of the Council on Aging, as it comprises the largest volunteer group our agency administers. RSVP supports more than 50 local work stations on a year-round basis.

For information on volunteering either as individuals or groups,
please contact Connie Bellanceau at 407-933-9525.
