Volunteering

Volunteer Spotlight

Cox has done and seen it all. Tough but compassionate gun-toting court officer, mom to two daughters, world traveler, chorale singer, expert seamstress, octogenarian zip-liner, integration trailblazer, theater usher in her spare time, longest serving AARP volunteer, niece to one of Detroit’s most celebrated figures... and that only touches on a handful of the highlights.

It’s a one-of-a-kind event to give you a “taste” of the various volunteer opportunities at AARP New Hampshire. Join us online, and from the comfort of your own home, on April 29 at 7 pm to Sip, Sample & Serve.
