Welcome to the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) recruits and interviews interested volunteers; matching their skills, talents, interests, and time availability to appropriate volunteer assignments. Weld County RSVP has agreements with multiple non-profit agencies and civic agencies where volunteers can contribute their time and talents. RSVP also works with organizations to identify meaningful volunteer opportunities in response to specific community needs.

RSVP has been evolving for 36 years to meet America's needs. Passed in Congress in 1969 with the Older American's Act, RSVP was established in 1971 to create volunteer opportunities for the senior population, and to be a resource to address community needs. As a locally directed, but federally legislated grant program, RSVP's focus is helping these Americans find ways to help their communities. Weld County RSVP is locally sponsored by the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

Weld County RSVP manages 6 community service programs that are supported by RSVP Volunteers, as well as opportunities offered by more than 110 other organizations.

Our mission is to invite adults who are at least 55 to use their life experience, wisdom, and skills to answer the call of their neighbors in need, and in doing so, improve the quality of life for both volunteer and community.
