2025 Volunteer Appreciation Month

Don’t miss out on a chance to receive a giveaway during Volunteer Appreciation Month.

We celebrate volunteering all year long, but especially in April. This year, during National Volunteer Appreciation Month, we’re offering active volunteers across the state an opportunity to receive a giveaway.

What do you need to do for a chance to receive a giveaway? It’s easy!

• Take a photo (using your phone or computer) of the portal before and after you enter your data. 
• Enter or update your data in the Volunteer Portal. 
  
  • Mandatory information needed:  
    
    • Gender 
    • Ethnicity 
    • Birthday 
    • Email 
    • Mobile Phone
  • Email Opt-Ins (and be sure to opt in to receive emails so you get our special alerts for portal volunteers).
• Email your proof picture to a Portal Champion by Wednesday, April 30.

Your portal champions are:

• Joan Diehl jdiehl@aarp.org  
• Rita Qualls rqualls@aarp.org  
• Daniel Gladsone dgladstone@aarp.org
  
  

VOLUNTEERS WHO COMPLETE THE SUBMISSION WILL RECEIVE A GIVEAWAY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

We know you’re invested in the future of people 50-plus across Arkansas and want to see AARP Arkansas succeed. One way you can help us achieve our measurable goals is by being active and engaged in the portal.

Still struggling with the portal? Register for one of the Portal Champion training sessions here.

Please contact your HUB or Volunteer Team leader to participate in local AARP Arkansas volunteer celebrations.

We at AARP Arkansas appreciate you and celebrate your commitment to helping us make a difference in the lives of people 50-plus. Have a great volunteer appreciation month!
