AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) 94.002

Established in 1971 and now one of the largest senior volunteer programs in the nation, AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP engages people ages 55 and older in a diverse range of volunteer activities. AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP volunteers tutor children, help prepare simple taxes, assist victims of natural disasters, provide nutrition/food support, facilitate opioid and substance abuse education workshops, and serve in their communities in many other ways. AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP volunteers choose how, where, and how often they want to serve, with commitments ranging from a few hours to a maximum of 40 hours per week. While serving, AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP volunteers improve their own lives by staying active and civically engaged. RSVP volunteers support food security programs, mentor and tutor children, assist with workforce development and job-readiness training, provide disaster preparedness and mitigation support, serve veterans and military families, recruit and manage other volunteers, and much more.
