Leveraging Experience and Heart to Empower Student Success
The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of St. Johns County, established in 1969 and sponsored by the St. Johns County School District, is a community-based initiative that engages adults aged 55 and older in supporting youth and adults on their educational journeys. With decades of service, RSVP volunteers bring their experience, compassion, and time to help strengthen educational outcomes throughout the county.
Participants in the RSVP program contribute in various ways, including providing instructional support in classrooms, offering one-on-one tutoring, mentoring students, and assisting with school readiness initiatives that prepare young learners for academic success. These efforts not only benefit students but also create rewarding opportunities for older adults to remain active and make a meaningful difference in their communities.
