RSVP Volunteer
Retired Senior
Volunteer Program
RSVP (Retired
Senior Volunteer Program),
a nationwide volunteer program, invites you to use your life experience
and skills to answer the call of your neighbors in need in
Brooke-Hancock-Ohio-Marshall County division of West Virginia
sponsored by the Brooke County Committee on Aging.
The term RSVP comes
from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond".

opportunity to make new friends, assignments that coincide
