The Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) places adults, 55 and older, into meaningful volunteer positions, in order to meet the needs of Bay County, Florida.

RSVP utilizes people who are dedicated, who want to serve others, who are willing to donate their time and talents to "make a difference" and "lead with their experience" in our community; who want to share their experiences and energy, and who want to "give back"!
