RSVP HELPS YOU MAKE A GREAT CHOICE!

RSVP recruits, interviews, trains, and places men and women ages 55 and over with public and private nonprofit agencies requesting service.  We are a one-to-one volunteer referral agency serving residents throughout Dane County. Our volunteers share their knowledge, personal interests, experience, and energy, contributing to the vitality and well-being of their local communities.

Organized in 1972, we are incorporated as an independent nonprofit agency.  With over 2000 volunteers, we are one of the largest such programs in the country.

RSVP of Dane County is one of seventeen Wisconsin programs sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service.  RSVP is part of the National Senior Service Corps that also includes the Foster Grandparent Program and Senior Companion.  Nationally, there are over 760 RSVP's with over 460,000 volunteers.

You may request our current brochure by calling 608 238-7787, or through email, at info@rsvpdane.org.

Ellen Broeckert   “The possibilities at RSVP are endless for volunteer work…just make the phone call.”

Ellen Broeckert is a newer volunteer for RSVP of Dane County as of November 2008. Ellen and her husband, Steve, returned to Madison after 20 years in LaCrosse WI. Ellen decided that, after careers in Health Insurance and other businesses, she would pursue something new: volunteer work. By a simple phone call to RSVP in response to a newspaper ad,she is now connected to an exciting new world. Ellen is able to assist RSVP of Dane County in several capacities: RSVP office work for special projects, along with participation in Group Projects meetings, projects, and storeroom work.
