The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is America’s largest volunteer network for people age 55 and over. "One stop shopping" for all volunteers who want to find challenging, rewarding, and significant service opportunities, RSVP helps make volunteering a more meaningful experience by offering information, support and guidance. Offering a full range of volunteer options with thousands of local and national organizations, volunteers are able to choose how and where they want to serve, choose the amount of time they want to give and whether they want to draw on their skills or develop new ones.

The History of RSVP In 1969, an amendment to the Older Americans Act was added that helped to establish the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, or RSVP, in 1971 to help create volunteer opportunities for retired persons. With the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, the Older Americans Volunteer Program was reauthorized as the National Senior Volunteer Corps (NSVC) under the National and Community Service Trust Act. RSVP, a part of senior programs of the NSVC, was renamed the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program to reflect the new reality that not all older volunteers were retired. The changes that the RSVP program has experienced throughout the years reflect the changing faces of senior volunteer-ism in America. The program continues to grow, and as it grows, RSVP will continue to provide opportunities for all seniors to answer the call to service. |
