Honoring Everyday Excellence in our Communities

We know that it takes time to build great communities, but we also believe that tangible improvements can spark long-term change. AARP launched the Community Challenge grant program in 2017 to fund projects that build momentum to improve livability nationwide. Challenge grants have funded more than 20 projects in Tennessee, so we took a closer look at three success stories to learn more about how recipients leveraged grant funds to make a positive impact on both the organizations and their communities. We interviewed Jazmine Leblanc from ELLA Library in Chattanooga, Marlon Foster from Knowledge Quest in Memphis, and Danielle Kaminsky from Robertson County Schools in Springfield.

AARP Kentucky is proud to welcome our new volunteer leaders joining our Executive Council. We extend a grateful thanks to our outgoing Council members who've generously contributed so much time and talent serving Kentuckians 50-plus, our Commonwealth, and AARP’s Mission.

Linwood Jackson has been presented with the AARP Delaware 2024 Andrus Award for Community Service, the Association’s most prestigious and visible state volunteer award.
