What is RSVP?

The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is a nationwide network of persons 55 years of age and older, who work as volunteers helping their communities.

These individuals share a lifetime of skills and experiences. They contribute their time, knowledge, and effort to their communities, serving in the areas of health and nutrition, education, economic development, housing, energy, and conservation, community service, drug abuse, libraries, museums, literacy and many others.

Through RSVP you will be given an opportunity to contribute your time, experience, knowledge and interest to others in your community who need you and your commitment. Another way you can help Barton County RSVP is by contributing to its support.

Equally important, as a senior volunteer, you will find what you receive is often more than you give - your life will be enriched many times over by your active participation in your community with those who periodically need you and your commitment.
