Our community needs your wisdom and experience!
Join the Senior Corps as an RSVP volunteer! RSVP stands for Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. Free membership, including supplemental insurance, mileage reimbursement, and recognition events, is available to volunteers age 55 and older.
Make a Difference in Your Community!
RSVP works with over 45 different non-profit agencies in the Chattanooga area, and places volunteers in jobs that suit them and their personal interests. Volunteer opportunities range from hospital greeters to home-delivered meal drivers to zoo and aquarium helpers, just to name a few. Even if you would like to help with special events now and then - your donation of time is always welcome and needed.
