Caring for the Caregiver: Reflecting on a Year of Growth, Connection, and Support

The October 2024 AARP Volunteer Summit was an incredible gathering, brimming with excitement and a powerful sense of purpose! Each year, dedicated AARP volunteers from across the state and our tight-knit team of four staff from the Wyoming State Office come together to reconnect, rejuvenate, and dive into fresh ideas and initiatives that strengthen our communities. This year, we saw our shared commitment deepen toward AARP’s five priorities: Fraud Prevention, Caregiving, Social Connections, Veterans Support, and Brain Health.
