Volunteering

Caregiving for loved ones can take a physical, emotional and financial toll.

AARP District of Columbia is ready to start the new year by continuing its advocacy for older adults in the nation’s capital, virtually and, eventually, in person.

A recent AARP analysis indicated that 8 percent of South Carolina residents over 50 were food insecure.

Alaskans of any age are capable of serving their community. That’s Nona Safra’s message as an honorary member of the Alaska State Fair Royalty.

Mattie Lawrence Johnson's wide-ranging efforts to help others earned her AARP Virginia’s 2021 Andrus Award for Community Service.

Did you know that AARP has a vast array of resources for individuals and their families? Most of the resources are available in Spanish. This coming year, join us in reaching out to Latino families across the Commonwealth. If you speak Spanish and have some time to spare, we have volunteer opportunities for bilingual presentations virtually and/or in-person. Once we return to in-person events, we have opportunities to do outreach at events, and you can join us in distributing our many print resources. Language skills are a plus, but not essential. We are especially looking for people who are resourceful and like to connect in the community. We also welcome your creative ideas for doing outreach and programming to the Latino community here in the Bay State. To explore this opportunity, email us at ma@aarp.org by January 31 or sooner.
