Community Involvement
AmeriCorps Seniors Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
RSVP is more than just a connection—it’s a bridge for volunteers aged 55 and older to actively engage and make a meaningful impact in their communities. Operating across Summit, Medina, Geauga, Wayne, Delaware, Franklin, and Hamilton Counties, VANTAGE RSVP stands as a beacon of service. As the nation’s premier volunteer network for older adults, RSVP excels in pairing volunteers with organizations where their time, passions, skills, wisdom, and expertise can truly shine, addressing vital needs and fostering a stronger, more vibrant community.
