AARP Eye Center
Every day across Pennsylvania, people 50 and older are making a powerful impact — mentoring young people, supporting neighbors, leading community projects, and giving their time to causes that matter.
The Andrus Award for Community Service is AARP's highest volunteer honor, recognizing one outstanding volunteer each year who embodies the spirit of service and the values of our founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus.
And we're asking you to help decide who gets recognized.

Why It Matters
Volunteers don’t do it for recognition — but a little appreciation can go a long way. The Andrus Award reminds us all of the power of service, and the value of lifting up those who make a difference in quiet, consistent ways.
