RSVP, which stands for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, is a community-focused initiative operating under the umbrella of Catholic Charities in Binghamton, NY. Dedicated to social services, RSVP connects individuals aged 55 and older with meaningful volunteer opportunities that address vital community needs across Broome County. Volunteers offer their time and expertise to agencies and nonprofits in areas such as food insecurity, literacy, transportation, and companionship for older adults, helping to enrich both their lives and those they serve.

The program promotes active aging by encouraging seniors to stay physically and socially engaged while making a positive impact. What sets RSVP apart is its personalized matching process, which places volunteers in roles that suit their interests, skills, and availability. From home-delivered meals to mentoring youth and assisting local veterans, the organization partners with local agencies to support critical operations. RSVP is part of AmeriCorps Seniors, lending it a network of national support and evidence-based outcomes. With a strong commitment to volunteerism, community development, and elder empowerment, RSVP plays a vital role in sustaining essential social services in Broome County.
