AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Volunteer Program
A.C.E. of SW Minnesota is proud to be the sponsoring agency of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) in southwest Minnesota. The AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Program provides an opportunity for volunteers to share the skills and talents that they have spent years perfecting, and to put their life experiences into motion for others, thereby benefiting our communities in
the process!
A National Program with Local Impact – as a part of the AmeriCorps Seniors program, RSVP is America’s largest volunteer network for people age 55 and better, with more than 400,000 volunteers tackling tough issues nationwide. It is operated under the direction of the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency.
