Volunteering

Every February, the U.S. honors the contributions and sacrifices of African Americans who have helped shape our nation. Black History Month celebrates the rich cultural heritage, triumphs and adversities that are part of our country’s history. During Black History Month 2025, AARP is celebrating everyday people—those who tirelessly support their families, uplift their neighborhoods, and drive the progress of our nation.

This festival always sells out! AARP has a few ways to get you there.
