• Benefit from high quality training and education
• Meet new people and create connections

Types of volunteer service include:

Community Ambassadors
AARP Community Ambassadors work with staff to carry out the work of AARP at the community level. They support AARP Washington’s presence in community through representation at various community events and activities, identify opportunities to increase AARP visibility, and offer valuable information and resources through member engagement. They may also partner with local community organizations on AARP priorities, such as Age-Friendly Communities, and represent AARP at community meetings.

Speakers Bureau Volunteers
Speakers Bureau volunteers educate and inform the public on AARP priorities by presenting workshops on topics such as Caregiving, Brain Health, Downsizing & Decluttering, HomeFit, and Fraud Prevention. Speakers present AARP-developed content to groups in-person or via Zoom. Volunteer roles include presenter, tech-support for both in-person and virtual, organizer and scheduler, and audience greeter.

Advocacy Volunteers
AARP advocacy volunteers partner with staff at state and federal levels to influence important legislative issues that promote health, enhance financial security, and support family caregivers. Volunteers may meet with their State Legislators and other elected officials, participate in monthly calls, attend committee hearings, take-action and stay in touch with state lawmakers regarding AARP’s state legislative agenda.
