Our goal is to help link adults age 55 and older who wish to give their time and service to organizations and institutions that depend on civic engagement to meet the needs of our Heart of Texas region. Utilizing a generation of experience, AmeriCorps Seniors-RSVP works to match citizens with every walk of volunteer service. Members can choose from a vast listing of projects where they can share a talent, learn new skills, meet others and assist people and agencies in need.
Our Mission
Funded by the national agency, AmeriCorps, The Texas Department on Health and Human Services, and locally sponsored by McLennan Community College, the mission of AmeriCorps Seniors-RSVP is to support people and organizations using citizen volunteer service as a strategy to meet critical national responsibility and community needs and to strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation.
