About Us

Our Mission

RSVP stands for Retired and Senior Volunteer Program.  It is funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Putnam County Office for the Aging.

The Program enables adults, 55 and older to contribute meaningful service in a wide variety of community agencies.

RSVP Volunteers are matched with assignments of their own choosing.  The program provides orientation, training, as well as supplementary insurance while on duty.  And RSVP celebrates the energy and efforts of its volunteers with an annual recognition event - a small token of appreciation for dedicated community service.

In Putnam County, over 450 RSVP volunteers are presently giving 100,000 hours of experience, skill, and wisdom to help their fellow man.  They are also meeting new people and making new friends.  They are actively contributing to community life and helping others in need.

RSVP volunteers lead more active, dynamic lives, full of the
excitement of participation.
