Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program helps individuals age 55 and older put their skills and life experiences to work for their communities. The program was launched in 1971 through an amendment of the Older American Act with eleven programs administered under the Administration on Aging. In 1993 the Older Americans Volunteer Programs were reauthorized as the National Senior Volunteer Corps and today, ½ million volunteers serve through 757 programs in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
