About RSVP
RSVP is part of AmeriCorps Seniors, one of the largest volunteer efforts in the nation; it has linked the skills and experience of older adults with community needs since 1971. Locally a program of Volunteers of America of Minnesota, RSVP serves an 11 county area, supporting people 55 and over in volunteer service at our partner organizations.
RSVP Benefits Include Free Supplemental Insurance, Travel Reimbursement, and More
- FREE SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE: As an RSVP member, you will be covered by free supplemental insurance when you volunteer. In the unfortunate event that something happens to you while volunteering, or traveling to or from your volunteer position, the insurance will help cover out of pocket expenses related to the accident.
- ANNUAL RECOGNITION EVENTS: We gather each year to celebrate your accomplishments. These events are a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow volunteers and celebrate the work that you do. We also provide enrichment events and other informal gatherings.
- TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT : Upon request, we can reimburse a portion of your volunteer related out-of-pocket transportation expense. This is optional, and can be used for travel by car, bus, or Metro Mobility.
- BE COUNTED AS PART OF A NATIONAL MOVEMENT: Adults 55 and over are giving thousands of hours daily to positively impact their communities! Your hours will be counted with those of your peers to demonstrate to policy makers and the community the huge impact of senior volunteerism on a local and national level. Help send the message that mature adults are making meaningful contributions, solving problems and bringing our communities together.
- VOLUNTEER SUPPORT: We will continue to be available to provide ongoing information and support as your volunteer needs evolve.
