Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
The RSVP program, powered by AmeriCorps Seniors, engages adults 55+ in volunteer opportunities across Southern Colorado to improve rural community well-being and support seniors’ health through meaningful service.
About RSVP
At Spark, we believe that folks aged 55 and up have so much to contribute to their communities through volunteer engagement. Rural seniors often have significantly worse mental and physical health outcomes than their urban counterparts, but volunteering can help!
