Some people feel a lack of productivity when they no longer have a regular work site or schedule.
RSVP helps seniors stay active and involved. Volunteers join a large service network, learning new skills or using the know-how they've developed over a lifetime. Many RSVP volunteers have lived in their communities for a long time. Because the community has given them so much, they see serving as a way to give something back. RSVP volunteers discover that when they give, they gain a lot too.
