Join Us for These Great Events Ahead of the NH Primary

Every election season, AARP advocates for the issues that are important to Granite Staters 50-plus. Our volunteers are our boots on ground at campaign events where they ask questions and get every candidate on the record about where they stand on the issues that matter the most to our members and all people age 50-plus.

There are many different opportunities to volunteer in our voter engagement work. Get involved with the state sport of politics – learn more about the primaries, learn how AARP is involved, and learn how you can participate.

To get you started, we've put together a trio of events so you can learn more about AARP NH and how you can get involved.

We hope you'll join us at ALL these events!
