Volunteering

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is looking to expand its team of volunteers for the upcoming tax season. Approaching its 50 th year, Tax-Aide offers free tax filing help to anyone, especially those 50 and older, who can’t afford a tax preparation service. Tax-Aide volunteers make a difference in their communities by assisting many older, lower-income taxpayers who might otherwise miss out on the credits and deductions they’ve earned.

AARP Oklahoma invites volunteers to help fight hunger and feed hope by participating in its annual Day of Service, Sept. 11. Volunteers can choose one of three locations: the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma in Tulsa, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City and the Community Market of Pottawatomie County in Shawnee.

Annual Award Recognizes Those Who Make a Powerful Difference in their Community

Clinton resident Donald Miller’s dedication to helping make life better for others was recognized as he was named the recipient of the 2016 AARP Oklahoma Andrus Award for Community Service. The award – the highest honor given by AARP – was presented at a luncheon held in Oklahoma City. Miller was one of four nominees for the honor.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides free tax-filing help to those who need it most and Oklahoma is recruiting new volunteers.

One day. Four locations. 70 volunteers. Thousands of Oklahomans served.

This year you have not one, not two, but three volunteer opportunities for AARP's Day of Service on Monday, September 12, 2016. Join us in Oklahoma City, Shawnee or Tulsa as we roll up our sleeves to participate in local community service projects.

The deadline for AARP’s most prestigious and visible award- the AARP Andrus Award for Community Service has been extended to Monday, August 1, 2016. This award recognizes individuals who are sharing their experience, talent and skills to enrich the communities in ways that are consistent with AARP’s mission, vision, commitment to volunteer service and that inspire others to volunteer.
