If you are over 55 years of age, can volunteer at least a few hours every week; and enjoy working with others to solve community problems.  You can do a lot for RSVP and your community.

Today's older adults are busy, productive people.  After retirement, many RSVP volunteers use their experience to tutor and mentor children, counsel small businesses, assist at health clinics and teach other seniors to use the Internet.  Others distribute food to their town's homeless or volunteer at a variety of one-time community events.  They want to keep active in ways that make a difference for those in need.

Last year in Curry County alone 400 volunteers gave over 54,000 hours of service.  They have found out that getting involved is the key to RSVP.  Their hard work can solve problems, and they end up getting back even more than they give.
