Celebrating Our AARP Nebraska Volunteers
Posted on 04/02/25
by Jess Kinser
Our volunteers make a difference! In honor of National Volunteer Month this April, AARP Nebraska thanks our volunteers for dedicating their time and talents to help people 50 and older live their best lives.
Their dedication and commitment helps bring AARP's mission to life and makes a lasting difference in the communities we serve.
To help recognize and celebrate their wonderful contributions, AARP's Office of Volunteer Engagement (OVE) has put together a special thank you video message from AARP leadership:
Narrated by Dr. Myechia Minter-Jordan, Nancy LeaMond, and Claire Casey, this special appreciation video honors the invaluable contributions of our volunteers.
Interested in Becoming an AARP Volunteer?
For over half a century, AARP has been the nation's leading social change organization, defending, representing, and advancing the needs and wants of people age 50 and older. We're looking for volunteers interested in advancing our community presence work—increasing the awareness of AARP programs and resources, as well as building relevance by listening and responding to the needs and interests of community members. View AARP Nebraska's Volunteer Brochure to explore opportunities.
To learn more and become part of AARP's vibrant community of over 60,000 volunteers, offering your time and talents—either in person or from home—to make a meaningful difference in the lives of older Americans and their families, submit a volunteer application form at https://www.aarp.org/iwant2volunteer.
Thank you for considering volunteering to support our Nebraska communities! Your willingness to make a difference means so much, and we’re incredibly grateful for your interest in giving back and advocating for Nebraskans 50 and older.
