Volunteering

Suzanne Franklin of Amherst is the newest member of AARP Virginia's executive council

During the Minnesota State Fair, AARP MN partnered with MyTalk 107 to celebrate the people and nonprofit organizations that do amazing work in Minnesota. Community members could enter for a chance to win $1,000 for themselves, and $1,000 plus a free radio campaign on MyTalk 107 to their favorite Minnesota nonprofit. Nearly 2,000 people entered the sweepstakes and we are excited to announce that Ziggy’s Art Bus was chosen as our nonprofit winner!

Minnesota is more than just lakes, hockey, and Prince. The state is at the center of a national conversation around reshaping public safety. It’s known for high educational outcomes and strong voter turnout, but also for deep racial disparities. Whatever the issue, Minnesotans of all ages stay engaged in their communities. We’re ranked fifth in the nation for volunteerism with 41% of residents 16+ having volunteered in the last year (2019, MN Compass).

Cindy Roholt of Fargo is the recipient of the 2021 AARP Andrus Award for Community Service – AARP’s most prestigious volunteer award.

The AARP Volunteers in Prescott & Prescott Valley, AZ went shopping for healthy snacks and beverages for donation to the Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s medical and support staff that are working so hard to provide care to those in need of that care. This is one way we can show our gratitude to the YRMC workers who are instrumental in helping the area's residents during these most difficult times.
