Area VI RSVP Montana

The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, RSVP, provides persons 55 and older the opportunity to apply their life experiences to meet critical community needs. RSVP has operated across the nation for over 30 years. Last year over 480,000 senior volunteers served an average of four hours per week to over 65,000 local organizations nationwide.

Volunteers with RSVP serve a diverse range of non-profit organizations, public agencies, and faith-based groups. Among other activities, they mentor youth, organize neighborhood watch programs, help with blood drives and immunization clinics and lend their business skills to community groups that provide needed social services.

There is no cost for either the Host Sites who utilitze volunteer services or to the Volunteers themselves. RSVP works with both the Sites and Volunteers to insure a satisfying experience for all. Mileage reimbursement for volunteers is available as well as free supplemental accident and liability insurance.

The Western Area VI Agency on Aging (RSVP sponsor) was awarded one of ten grants in the entire nation to engage citizens in public health and safety and emergency preparedness, as well as, other community projects. RSVP MT serves Ravalli, Mineral, and Lake counties and the Flathead Indian Reservation. We currently have offices in Hamilton and Polson Montana.
