Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is one of the many opportunities the Health and Human Services Agency offers older adults, as ways to help out and volunteer in their communities. There are a variety of locations and roles for older adults who wish to volunteer.
Why Join RSVP?
More than 200 local organizations benefit from the efforts of RSVP volunteers. These seniors, age 55 plus, help our community through participation in law enforcement, health care, education, the arts and many other arenas. They donate more than 512,000 hours annually, saving our county millions of dollars.
RSVP is sponsored by the County of San Diego Aging & Independence Services through a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service.
