What is Kay County RSVP?

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides adults age 55 and over with an opportunity to use their life experience and skills to improve the communities in which they live through volunteer work at one or more of the RSVP sites or stations in Kay County.

 How Much Time is Needed?

Volunteers give anywhere from a few hours to many hours a week helping at various places in their communities.

 Where Can I Volunteer?

Today’s older adults are busy, productive people.  Some RSVP volunteers use their skills and experience to tutor and mentor children, counsel small businesses, assist at health clinics, hospitals or nursing homes, or teach other seniors computer skills.  Others distribute food at area nutrition sites as well as deliver meals to homebound seniors, some volunteer at a variety of one-time community events.  RSVP volunteers want to keep active in ways that make a difference.

Why Should I Join RSVP?   There are many reasons to join RSVP.

4 By joining RSVP you receive free supplemental insurance, which will cover any incremental costs not covered by your own insurance if you are injured while doing volunteer work scheduled through the RSVP office.

 4 RSVP matches the interests and life experiences of seniors age 55 and older with the volunteer opportunities in the community. 

 4 RSVP serves as a link to over 60 volunteer sites or stations throughout Kay County.

 4 RSVP provides recognition to the volunteers for their efforts in the community.

 4 Volunteer hours are reported to the State and Federal Government to help obtain grants which fund the program.  These grant dollars provide further opportunities for growth in our communities!

 4 You have an opportunity through RSVP to utilize your knowledge and skills to help others.

What Are My Commitments to RSVP After I Join?

4 Commit to report your hours monthly. At the first of each month report your volunteer hours to RSVP.  This can be done by mail, in person at the office, by phone, or by e-mail.

What RSVP Doesn’t Do!
