Make a Difference

Are you 55+ and interested in meaningfully serving the local community - but unsure how to find a good volunteer match? Let us assist you!

AmeriCorps Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is a free program that helps older adults find a fulfilling volunteer opportunity that matches their skills, experience, and interests. Opportunities range from tutoring to gardening, food transport, as well as providing management and operational assistance including training and capacity-building resources for nonprofits. Whether you are looking for an in-person/on site experience or prefer to help remotely working on projects from home or via Zoom—we have many different types of volunteer options.

RSVP also provides mileage reimbursement, volunteer insurance and other benefits. It's a great resource to meet new friends and make a difference!

This program is operated out of Durham County but serves organizations that have operations throughout the Triangle area.

Let's get serving! Are you...

Volunteer Spotlight

When Tanya Best retired from Durham Social Services a decade ago, she didn’t slow
down—she shifted into a different kind of service. For the past ten years, she has
dedicated herself to volunteer work throughout Durham, currently splitting her time
between the Durham Center for Senior Life and AARP Durham.
At the Senior Center, Tanya exemplifies the kind of flexible, committed volunteer
every organization dreams of.Ā
