  • Advocacy Volunteer
    Advocates represent AARP in their district by communicating with local, state, and federal elected officials and their staff to discuss AARP positions on specific policies and legislation. Advocates attend town halls or public events where elected representatives are present; build a relationship with legislative staff and message as requested on AARP stances. Advocates receive AARP orientation and special advocacy training. They work as part of a team with clearly defined responsibilities and report directly to staff.
    Speakers Bureau
    Speakers Bureau Volunteers represent our organization by sharing its mission, programs, and impact with diverse audiences. Volunteers deliver engaging presentations at community events, local organizations and workplaces to inspire support and awareness on issues like caregiving, fraud prevention and more! This role is ideal for confident communicators who are passionate about advocacy and public outreach. Training and materials are provided to ensure success.
    Community Educators
    AARP educates the public and connects audiences to valuable information and resources. Our Community Educators offer free presentations on health, finance, fraud prevention, technology, and dozens of other topics pertinent to the 50+ population. Presentations may be made in person or virtually. AARP provides Community Educators with training and support materials.
