Became a Voice For Change

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

Are you interested in making an impact in the lives of older adults? AARP has a local presence in Ohio to help people age 50+ to amplify their voice, share resources, and support each other where they live. AARP volunteers help Ohioans thrive in communities across the state.

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.

$55,000 in grants aims to help residents of all ages, especially older adults, improve how they live, move, and stay connected in their neighborhoods through innovative local projects

AARP Connecticut’s legislative priority is to work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle on policies and regulations that will keep more money in the pockets of residents and their families; address rising costs of utilities so all people have fair and affordable access to the necessary services; support family caregivers; strengthen protections around predatory lending practices; ensure prescription drug prices are reasonable, justified, and support improved consumer access and affordability; and help older adults live safely and independently in their communities and more.

No Tax Experience Needed!

Norma Estella Reyes of San Antonio and longtime journalist Annette Fuller of Lake Dallas in Denton County join the volunteer group that provides leadership advice and direction for AARP in the Lone Star State.
