3. Co-led with partner (worked with partner to plan, coordinate activities, recruit additional volunteers, provide onsite management, complete event follow up)

Community-Based Team Definition

“An intentionally-formed team of AARP volunteers who work together in partnership with state staff to plan, lead and implement work in a designated geographical community, such as a Community Presence (CP) or Enhanced Community Presence (ECP) location. Community-based volunteer teams typically meet monthly. Results include expansion of AARP’s community capacity, growth in volunteer engagement and leadership and a measurable increase in community engagement and impact over time.”
