Volunteering

AARP joined with members of the Cheyenne unit of the Wyoming Retired Educator Personnel (WREP) last week to give back to the community. Through a donation from both organizations, the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens purchased a new giraffe topiary for the Cheyenne Children’s Village.

It’s National Volunteer Week and the entire team at AARP Tennessee is grateful to have so many volunteers who generously share their abilities with us. Here’s a special message from AARP Tennessee State President Donna Dean.

Though retired, Dr. Len Kirschner is always looking for ways to improve Arizona citizens’ lives. After one conversation, you may be hard pressed to find anyone in Arizona more passionate about supporting Medicaid and healthcare than Dr. Kirschner. He’s been fighting the good fight of persuading state legislators to embrace the importance of the Medicaid program in Arizona for more than 30 years.

Are you looking for a way to get involved in your community and put your time, skills, and experience to work serving and helping others? Through AARP Virginia you can use your talents and creativity to make your local community a better place to live – and meet some new friends along the way!

Your insights as a patient or caregiver can help doctors, hospitals and nursing homes deliver better care.

We carefully chose the issues we're focusing on during the 2015 Texas Legislative Session. One of the key elements is that all these topics are close to home for countless Texas families. So chances are you have a relative, neighbor or friend with a personal experience highlighting why at least one of these issues are important--and why Texas legislators should take note and work to fix or improve the situation.

Happy National Volunteer Week! AARP is incredibly grateful for all of our volunteers who dedicate their time and enthusiasm to our programs. Our volunteers come from all over the state of Minnesota to help their communities receive the benefits and knowledge of AARP.
