The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) helps people age 55 and older find service opportunities in their home communities. RSVP participants serve from a few to over forty hours a week in organizations that range from hospitals and youth recreation centers to local police stations and education facilities. RSVP involves seniors in service that matches their personal interests and makes use of their skills and lifelong experiences. RSVP volunteers receive insurance coverage, mileage reimbursement, and community recognition. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Spokane County is sponsored by the YMCA of the Inland Northwest.
