The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is a national community service program funded primarily by the Corporation for National and Community Service that connects people age 55 and older with service opportunities in their communities.  In strategic and innovative partnerships with local agencies, RSVP of Hampshire and Franklin Counties provides opportunities for life-experienced volunteers to help alleviate critical community needs. 

Currently there are approximately 480 RSVP members serving at over 40 agencies in Hampshire and Franklin counties.  RSVP recruits volunteers from the community, and then matches the interests, skills, and experience of the individual with the best volunteer placement.  RSVP members serve at local schools, senior centers, hospitals, and other human service agencies.  RSVP provides specialized training opportunities and meaningful recognition events to motivate and thank our members.
