RSVP+ is a federally and locally funded program that connects agencies with needs to volunteers with skills. Formerly known as RSVP, the + signifies the elimination of its age requirement, its service work across the river into Clay County and the adoption of a new mission statement.
Our Mission:
RSVP+ North Dakota invites individuals of all ages to enhance personal growth, develop leadership skills, and meet critical community needs through meaningful volunteer service opportunities.

The Voicebook Project is designed for children with an absent or soon to be absent loved one. The absence could be for many reasons; some due to military deployment, incarceration, divorce/separation, etc. Once these children and families are identified we will be asking the loved ones to choose a book and record their voice onto a CD for the child to listen to while they are gone.

It is our mission to work with the communities we serve to recruit and match volunteers with children in need to make a positive impact through meaningful mentoring relationships.The effects of incarceration influence children across the United States both directly and indirectly.
