AARP Indiana accepting nominations for top volunteer award

AARP Indiana

Each year, AARP Indiana honors its top volunteer with the AARP Andrus Award for Community Service.The award is AARP’s most prestigious and goes to the most outstanding 50 and older volunteer. By sharing their experience, talents, and skills to enrich the lives of other Hoosiers and reflecting the purpose and vision of AARP, the award winner is giving of their time to make their communities better.

AARP’s mission is to empower people to choose how they live as they age, and the Indiana office is excited to celebrate volunteers that do just that and accept nominations for the Andrus Award for Community Service through July 15, 2020.

Nominations can be made through a simple form available at www.aarp.org/AndrusAward.

“Volunteers bring our work to life,” Sarah Waddle, AARP Indiana state director, said. “Without them, we couldn’t make nearly as big of an impact on communities across the state.

“They’re also the lifeblood of many organizations and community partners in Indiana. We look forward to getting to know more Hoosiers making a difference through the nomination process.”
