RSVP Volunteer Program

Impact Through Senior Volunteering

RSVP

Connecting Passionate Volunteers with Critical Community Needs

RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) is a unique, members-only initiative, in partnership with AmeriCorps, that connects seasoned volunteers with organizations dedicated to solving some of society's most pressing challenges—such as homelessness, food insecurity, educational readiness, and disaster response.

Founded in 1971, RSVP is one of the largest senior volunteer networks in the country, creating lasting impact in communities across the nation. Here in Orange and San Bernardino Counties, OneOC proudly hosts RSVP volunteers at local nonprofit organizations, ensuring that those in need—whether it's access to education, food security, meals, or employment support—receive the critical services they deserve.

Flexibility & Freedom to Serve

As an RSVP volunteer, you choose how and when you want to give back. Whether you can commit just a few hours a week or are ready to dedicate up to 40 hours per week, RSVP offers flexible opportunities that fit your lifestyle. OneOC and our partner organizations ensure you’re fully prepared to make a difference from orientation to specialized training.
