Does this sound like you?

If so, you may be exactly the person we need.

AARP Georgia is now recruiting a leadership volunteer for Kennesaw. The new volunteer leader will work closely with our associate state director for community outreach.

Ingredients include green space and places to sit, adequate sidewalks, safe crosswalks and architecture that enhances the experience that pedestrians have while walking a route.
