Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, a federal program, has been sponsored locally for over 32 years by the Barbara and Ray Alpert Jewish Community Center.  RSVP recruits and places people 55 and better in meaningful volunteer opportunities that make a difference and impact our community, from delivering hot nutritious meals to providing transportation to homebound seniors.  Our members also serve as Senior Police Partners with the local law enforcement agency, are members of the first Conservation Education Corps (CEC), providing education and advocacy efforts in an effort to increase public knowledge, awareness and respect for our living marine resources, The Children's Literacy Program, enhancing the future of youngsters in need and provide needed administrative services for the may non-profit, government, and educational institutions in Long Beach.  Our members serve from a few hours a week, to many days per month.  Others prefer short-term projects that make an instant impact, then move on to the next project.  To find out how you can help, contact your local RSVP office.
