Volunteering

Nancy Alvarado has been awarded the 2024 AARP Andrus Award for Community Service for Minnesota. The annual award is AARP’s most prestigious and visible volunteer award. It recognizes individuals who share their experience, talent, and skills to enrich their communities in ways consistent with AARP’s purpose and vision. Nancy’s unwavering commitment to volunteer service exemplifies the belief of AARP’s founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, in the power of ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

Jack Shahbazian, a veteran volunteer for AARP Arizona, and Adelia Hefiln, a newer addition to AARP’s volunteer team, both became AARP Volunteers for the same reason — to grow their own personal community in Phoenix.
