Program/Service Definitions
Retired Senior Volunteer Program The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides the opportunity for any man or woman over the age of 55 years of age and older to serve their communities, explore new interests and stay active. With the help of RSVP, non-profit organizations are able to enhance and expand the services they provide. Approximately 50% of Michigan's more than 8,000 RSVP volunteers serve older people in their homes, communities and nursing homes. Other RSVP volunteers assist in a multitude of programs serving children, poor and disabled persons. RSVP volunteers serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for such expenses as travel and meals. Volunteers also receive training and insurance protection while on assignment.
