AARP Eye Center
We're excited to offer people a new volunteer opportunity to be trained as a Life Reimagined Guide in their community. Life Reimagined is a new way of thinking about what's next in life. Backed by decades of research, Life Reimagined introduces a powerful step-by-step approach to help people discover their possibilities, prepare for change and make their ideas real - whether focused on work, health, relationships or pursuing their passion.
Life Reimagined Guides lead people through Life Reimagined Checkups. A Checkup is typically a 2-hour self-exploratory session that uses a structured framework to help participants figure out their "what's next."
A training session will be held on June 30 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Lincoln at the AARP Nebraska State Office, 301 South 13th St., Suite 201. There is no charge but space is limited.
Those who are interested in attending should RSVP by June 15 to Robin Szwanek at rszwanek@aarp.org or call (402) 323-5427. AARP will cover mileage costs and overnight accommodations if needed.
