Volunteer Program
RSVP Is the largest
volunteer program for men and women age 55 and better in the

community --- listening to children read; broadcasting the
newspaper for those who are visually impaired; helping those
in need of food, clothing, shelter; sharing life experiences
-- RSVP volunteers are an effective and dependable
resource. They can be found in schools, hospitals,
offices, museums, jails... behind the scenes or on the front
lines
