What is RSVP?
The term RSVP comes
from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond".
RSVP,
a nationwide volunteer program, invites you to use your life experience
and skills to answer the call of your neighbors in need.
Do You have What it
Takes?

Are you over 55 years of age;
* Can you volunteer al least a few hours
every week; and
* Do you enjoy working with others to
solve community problems.
You
Benefit
*
Free volunteer placement;
* The opportunity to utilize your
experience and skills;
* The chance to learn something new every
day;
* Supplemental accident and liability
insurance; and

making a difference.
Your Neighbors Benefit
*

RSVP though funded in part
by the Corporation for National & Community Service,
relies heavily on the generosity of local agencies and the desire of
those 55
and older to be of service to others.
* RSVP
has no restrictions based on education, income, experience, ethnic
background or creed.
* Volunteers are covered for personal injury and liability arising
from volunteer activities.

for claims
incurred in connection with their program-related volunteer
work.

Programs.
* Volunteers are given the
opportunity to make new friends, assignments that coincide
with their special interests, and a chance to make a difference
in their community.

help your neighbors
and those in need.
