Our volunteers advocate for issues that benefit our members such as lowering the cost of prescription drugs locally and nationally. They run local events for members that help increase awareness of AARP with a fun twist. They help to recruit volunteers so we can expand our offerings throughout the state. They willingly share their time and talent in the community conducting Speakers Bureau presentations. And, most importantly, they embrace the AARP mission to “empower people to choose how they live as they age.” If you are looking for a new volunteer gig, we hope you’ll join us
