Our Mission
At the RSVP of Northeast Kansas, our mission is to provide our citizens, ages 55 and older, a variety of opportunities to participate more fully in the life of their community through significant volunteer service.
What is RSVP?
RSVP engages people age 55 and older in a diverse range of volunteer activities. RSVP offers maximum flexibility and choices for the volunteer by providing opportunities to serve either one time or on a regular basis.
RSVP matches the personal interests and skills of volunteers in order to support the work of many local non-profit organizations throughout the state. Volunteers cook & package meals for disabled and elderly individuals, tutor children, provide transportation for veterans & cancer patients to medical appointments, and much more.
In Kansas, RSVP is a network of projects utilizing the experience, skills, talents, interests, and creativity of adults age 55 and over.
