Across the Northeast, AARP state offices are currently recruiting new volunteers to serve in a variety of roles. And those who volunteer now say their work—on everything from fraud prevention to legislative advocacy—is highly rewarding.

Approximately 45 million Americans are age 65 or older. By 2030, that number will reach 73 million Americans. At that point, fully one in five Americans will be older than 65. By 2034, the United States will — for the first time ever — be a country comprised of more older adults than of children. AARP Livable Communities supports the efforts of neighborhoods, towns, cities and rural areas to be great places for people of all ages. We believe that communities should provide safe, walkable streets; age-friendly housing and transportation options; access to needed services; and opportunities for residents of all ages to participate in community life.
AARP Vermont is pleased to announce that William (Bill) April has been selected as the recipient of the 2024 Andrus Award for Community Service, the organization’s most prestigious and visible volunteer award. This award recognizes outstanding community service and is named after AARP’s founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus.
