‘Meet the Volunteers’ and Find Your Niche

A new year brings new opportunities to help others. To guide local residents to meaningful volunteer work, AARP Cincinnati is holding a series of “meet the volunteers” events that will highlight a range of outreach programs.

The events, to be held in February, will bring together current AARP volunteers with those interested in using their skills and talents to:

• Help plan and staff AARP-sponsored social events in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
• Publicize AARP events and news through use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
• Find opportunities for AARP Fraud Watch Network speakers to make presentations that help Cincinnati-area residents fight scams.
• Serve as online activists who use email to voice their opinions on issues such as utility services and rates, consumer protection, and ensuring financial and retirement security.
• Communicate with state and federal elected leaders to advocate on important issues through the AARP Advocacy Program.

Events will be held:
