Know an Exceptional Volunteer? Let’s Honor Them!

Recognize an exceptional volunteer in New Hampshire! 

AARP’s commitment to volunteerism can be brought back to our founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, whose motto “to serve, not to be served” has shaped out efforts on a local, state, and national level. Each year, AARP honors the legacy of Dr. Andrus with the AARP Andrus Award for Community Service. 

The Andrus Award for Community Service is AARP’s most prestigious volunteer award. It recognizes individuals who share their experience, talent, and skills to enrich their communities in ways that are consistent with AARP’s mission, vision, and commitment to volunteer service, and inspire others to volunteer. 

Nominees for the Andrus Award must meet the following eligibility requirements: 

• Nominees must be 50 years or older.
• The accomplishments, achievements, or service on which the nomination is based must have been performed on a volunteer basis, without pay.
• The accomplishments, achievements, or service on which the nomination is based must reflect AARP’s vision and mission.
• Couples or partners who perform service together are also eligible; however, teams are not eligible.
• The recipient must live in New Hampshire.
• This is not a posthumous award.

 Make sure to celebrate a volunteer that has impacted your life!
