At the annual AARP Massachusetts volunteer conference, Sen. Markey shared his family caregiving story: his father, a retired milkman, cared for his mother after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1985. At the conference in Worcester, volunteers learned a variety of ways they can use their time and talents to help the Bay State's 50+ population.

The AARP Massachusetts Executive Council (EC) provides strategic direction for AARP at the state level. The volunteer board is led by State President Sandra Harris. Each member brings uniquely valuable skills and experience to AARP.

AARP Massachusetts is hosting its annual volunteer conference on Thursday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester.

With tax season nearing, the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program volunteers help individuals prepare and file state and federal returns for free.

Did you know that AARP has a vast array of resources for individuals and their families? Most of the resources are available in Spanish. This coming year, join us in reaching out to Latino families across the Commonwealth. If you speak Spanish and have some time to spare, we have volunteer opportunities for bilingual presentations virtually and/or in-person. Once we return to in-person events, we have opportunities to do outreach at events, and you can join us in distributing our many print resources. Language skills are a plus, but not essential. We are especially looking for people who are resourceful and like to connect in the community. We also welcome your creative ideas for doing outreach and programming to the Latino community here in the Bay State. To explore this opportunity, email us at ma@aarp.org by January 31 or sooner.
