The purpose of RSVP - Retired & Senior Volunteer Program - is to create meaningful opportunities for older citizens - age 55 and above - to participate more fully in the life of the community through volunteer service.
We are doing a Pen Pal program between a grade school and assisted living facility and need your help with the children writing letter and the seniors writing letters. Both may need just a little of assistance to make a big impact in each others lives. If you cant do every month due to vacations, that's okay your help is still appreciated! Bringing together generations through reading and writing is a great way to learn from each other!
The school year starts soon, not only can this help children with reading and writing, but help seniors with social isolation.
Keeping our generations active with each other just a little bit longer!

Description
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people 55 years and over. You can use the skills and talents you’ve learned over the years, or develop new ones while serving in a variety of volunteer activities within your community.
We strengthen the communities we serve by addressing identified significant local needs, such as homelessness, food insecurity, aging in place for seniors, children in welfare and safety programs, and veterans and military families. RSVP takes the guesswork out of volunteering by partnering with a variety of nonprofit agencies in Pinellas County to help you find the right fit for your volunteer service. You choose where, when, and how often you want to spend your time!
Benfits of RSVP include: mileage reimbursement for travel to and from your volunteer station, accident and personal liability insurance, small death benefit while performing volunteer duties, volunteer recognition events, socialization with peers, and personal growth. Oh, and did we mention, the ability to make a lasting difference on those in need?
