Anyone eligible volunteers (Aged 55+) interested in signing up as a volunteer can do so right there at the event and receive a free tshirt! Join the fun this Saturday.

What is RSVP? 

Since 1971, RSVP has been one of the largest volunteer efforts in the nation for people 55 and over. A program of AmeriCorps Seniors, RSVP matches older adults who are willing to help with local organizations on the front lines of meeting community needs. Spark the Change Colorado powers two AmeriCorps Seniors programs across the state: RSVP and The Senior Companion Program. Food insecurity is the focus area of service in the seven RSVP counties.

Where to Start? 

Interested in getting started with RSVP? We are currently recruiting both Volunteers and Volunteer Stations in all 7 counties.
