Retired Senior Volunteer Program
RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) partners with different sites in Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Wyoming County to address various community needs. A program that recruits volunteers who are 55 and older and who are interested in volunteering their time and talents to address community needs. Traditionally the RSVP program has focused on areas such as Education, Literacy, Economic Opportunity, Healthy Futures and others. With our new grant we hope to continue to address those areas in addition to senior isolation, food insecurity and any other opportunities that may arise.
