Volunteers Needed for New AARP Program in Colorado Springs

AARP Colorado is looking for a few good volunteers to help us lead a new program, the AARPCO Colorado Springs Walking Group, coming to Colorado Springs. We will be creating a hybrid walking group where members can walk independently a few times a week and connect virtually with AARP volunteers and other members, offering a fun and safe way to establish a walking habit. AARP walking group leaders will provide helpful information from AARP resources, tips from the Arthritis Foundation’s Walk with Ease Guide, share experiences, and make connections during a weekly zoom meeting. The Colorado Springs Walking Group is designed to encourage healthy lifestyles, social engagement in a safe manner, and a whole lot of fun! AARP Colorado will provide all the materials and training you will need.

AARP Walking Group leaders should enjoy walking, meeting new friends, and should be comfortable with technology, specifically Zoom.  Each walking group meeting will run approximately one hour, one time a week for six weeks.  Colorado Springs Walking Group meetings can be planned around your schedule.

If you’d like to learn more about leading the AARPCO Colorado Springs Walking Group, please email the AARP Colorado State Office today.
