1. Why should I volunteer with RSVP if I am already volunteering in the community?

By joining the RSVP 'family', you help create a positive image of seniors and join one of America's oldest and largest volunteer organizations. RSVP helps you to find just the right fit for your time and interests. RSVP members have the benefit of secondary supplemental insurance coverage while at your volunteer job, a quarterly newsletter, recognition events, discounts and the continuing support of your RSVP staff.

2. Can I be an RSVP volunteer while volunteering for another organization/non-profit?

BOTH. Belonging to both organizations just makes you a part of the larger volunteer community. Very often you see volunteers wearing more than one name badge. It’s okay to be part of many organizations. The most important thing is to stay active and help in the community where it is needed.

3. What is the time commitment for an RSVP volunteer?

The amount of service can vary from a few hours a month to almost full time depending upon your preference.

4. Will I be getting called to do things all the time?

No, not if you don't wish to. We let you tell us how many or how few volunteer opportunities are the right amount for you. If you let us know your preference, we can do a better job of matching you to a potential volunteer opportunity.
