Volunteering

When AARP makes a difference in the community, the result can be credited to the passion and dedication of our volunteers. AARP Minnesota has more than 1,200 volunteers from across the state. Our volunteers work towards turning goals and dreams into real possibilities, strengthening communities, and fighting for the issues that matter most to families such as healthcare, livable communities, caregiving, employment security, and financial resiliency.

RALEIGH– For their work to help people live the kind of lives they want to live as they age, Pat Battle, Alan Briggs, Dr. Cheryl Greenberg and Lilian Scott Lee and Alexis Welch RN have been appointed to the Executive Council of AARP North Carolina. AARP is a volunteer led organization and Executive Council members work closely with AARP staff and volunteers to provide strategy to guide the advocacy and programs offered to over 1.1 million AARP members in the state.
