RSVP Charity Profile

Our volunteers demonstrate daily how seniors are a vital resource to help solve many of society's problems. This program offers you a chance to work in a project within the community that matches your values, passions, and skills.RSVP is an outgrowth of efforts by private groups, gerontologists, and government agencies over the past decades to address the needs of retirees. Back in 1961, the White House called attention to the continuing need of older people for useful activity. In 1965, the Older Americans Act was passed. In 1971, RSVP was launched under the auspices of the Administration on Aging (AOA). In July of that year, RSVP was transferred to the federal agency, ACTION, which had oversight of federal domestic volunteer programs. 11 projects were started that summer.
