An Invitation to Serve

About Our Program

Partner agencies vary widely to offer diverse volunteer opportunities. Examples include: hospitals, food banks, senior centers, youth programs, literacy projects, museums, schools, animal shelters and much more.

High Country RSVP is people helping people. High Country RSVP offers older individuals a chance to try something new, do things they may have always wanted to do or continue using their life experience for their community.  High Country RSVP provides support and assistance to agencies in their efforts to best serve the county through working to meet the critical needs of their local communities. 

High Country RSVP was launched in 1971 as a locally directed, but federally legislated grant program.  The Corporation for National and Community Service oversees all RSVP projects. There are over 850 RSVP projects nationwide, with over 500,000 volunteers donating more than 80 million hours of service.  High Country RSVP has been the local sponsor for 31 years working to provide services in partnership with Colorado Mountain College.

Benefits
