A leader in volunteer recruitment and placement for adults 55 years+, the RSVP Volunteer Program of Orange County partners with local nonprofit agencies to identify community needs and seeks volunteers with interests in meeting those needs.

Partners -- Volunteer Stations

Once nonprofit agencies partner with the RSVP Volunteer Program, they are referred to as Volunteer Stations. More than 100 agencies have registered with RSVP for assistance in finding volunteers at least 55 years of age or more.
