RSVP is a national service program that engages people age 55 and better in volunteer service to meet community needs and provides a high quality experience for the volunteers. RSVP partners with nonprofit agencies and schools to connect older adults to volunteer opportunities. Many opportunities are available in Kalamazoo County, with a few offered in Calhoun County.
RSVP membership is free and open to volunteers choosing to serve in an RSVP focus area activity (listed below). RSVP volunteers serving in these activities receive membership benefits including limited mileage reimbursement for those who might otherwise find it financially difficult to volunteer, invitation to a volunteer celebration, and supplemental accident, excess auto liability and personal liability insurance while serving provided at no cost.
