What is the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)?
RSVP is a national program created in 1993 with the support of
Congress, the President, and community groups nationwide, through The Corporation for National Service.
The goal of the The Corporation for
National Service is to provide a public-private partnership that administers three national
service initiatives:
 | Tapping the experience, skills, talents, interests and
creativity of seniors age 55 and over with the Foster Grandparents,
Senior Companion and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Programs.
|
|
AmeriCorps includes more than 400
local and national sponsors, as well as AmeriCorps*VISTA and
AmeriCorps*National
Civilian Community Corps. |
|
Learn and Serve America provides
models and resources for teachers integrating service into classrooms from
kindergarten through college. |
Volunteers in each of the Senior Corp
programs are committed to sharing their life experience in order to solve
critical local problems in the areas of Health and Nutrition, Human Needs
Services, Community/Economic Development, Education, Environment, and Public
Safety. Some help just a few hours a week. Senior Corps volunteers serve in all
50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
RSVP's main funding is through The
Corporation for National Service.
The program is sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging of North Idaho and is a United Way Agency in Kootenai County.
