Program Description

The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is a national service program, which works to match volunteers, age 55 and older, with local volunteer opportunities at partner agencies (i.e., hospitals, food banks, government buildings, community centers and senior centers, military posts, and faith-based locations).  The goal of RSVP is to provide seniors the opportunity to volunteer and make a difference in their local communities through service within various focus areas. Jefferson Community Action Programs (JeffCAP) sponsors the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) for Jefferson Parish.
