What is RSVP?
The
Retired
and Senior
Volunteer
Program of Keith County
recruits, supports and provides volunteer opportunities and
experiences for persons over the age of 55.
RSVP offers these services to
non-profit organizations throughout the community allowing our
volunteers to share the talents, knowledge and
skills they have acquired in their lifetime in helping to
fulfill the needs of others.
Currently, 310 volunteers assist over 37 different non-profit
organizations in Keith County. These senior adults have
served over 60,000 hours in the last year MAKING A DIFFERENCE,
building stronger communities and addressing priority needs.

Why Volunteer?
Volunteers find their lives enriched as they
share a lifetime of wisdom, love and experience with others
through volunteering. Communities become stronger as
concerned and involved citizens participate in volunteer
activities.

What if I
already volunteer elsewhere?
Active retirees and seniors may already be volunteering
elsewhere. Good for you! RSVP need not be an
"extra" commitment. Your volunteer hours an any of the
37 not-for profit organizations can count as RSVP hours.
Contact the Volunteer
Director about becoming an RSVP volunteer.
