Thayra “Tye” Hausheer came to the United States from Panama at age 19, joined the U.S. Air Force and served for four years in Idaho. It was there that she first became passionate about community activism, serving on the Idaho Women’s Network advisory board and as President of the statewide organization, Mujeres Unidas de Idaho.
Today, Tye is a Volunteer Leader for AARP and a bilingual member of AARP’s South Florida Speakers Bureau. In her roles as an AARP volunteer, Tye gives community presentations around topics that are important to the 50+ population such as caregiving, Medicare, Social Security and brain health. She often serves as an AARP spokesperson, doing local radio interviews in both English and Spanish and speaking on guest panels with other community organizations. Tye is also a Volunteer Leader for SHINE (Alliance for Aging); she is a volunteer for VITAS in the Bereavement Department, a member of the Latino Center on Aging advisory board, a certified instructor for the Florida Health Networks and the Alliance for Aging, and Engagement Coordinator for Mission United.
“Volunteerism is an addiction, but a good addiction for me,” Tye said. “[It] makes me feel great being an agent of positive change in my community.”
Join Tye and other AARP South Florida volunteers to make a difference and fight for issues that matter to older Floridians and their loved ones. You will make connections with other passionate volunteers and find fellowship with people in your community.
AARP South Florida is seeking to fill volunteer roles, including:
Advocates: Advocates represent AARP in their district by communicating with local, state, and federal elected officials and their staff to discuss AARP positions on specific policies and legislation. Advocates attend town halls or public events where elected representatives are present; build a relationship with legislative staff and message as requested on AARP stances. Advocates receive AARP orientation and special advocacy training. They work as part of a team with clearly defined responsibilities and report directly to staff.
Learn more about the Advocate volunteer position. Bilingual (fluent in English and Spanish) volunteers also wanted.
Age-Friendly Ambassadors: Age-Friendly Ambassadors help develop and implement strategies to improve communities for people of all ages and abilities. AARP is searching for residents interested in representing AARP on local boards and committees that focus on any of the 8 Domains of Livability. Age-Friendly Ambassadors may also wish to assist at Community Conversations or AARP Listening Posts. For more information about Age-Friendly communities visit https://states.aarp.org/florida/aarp-florida-age-friendly-communities.
AARP supports age-friendly communities by working with local leaders nationwide to create safe, affordable, and accommodating neighborhoods that enable people to live independently, stay in their homes longer, and remain actively engaged as they age.
Learn more about the Age-Friendly Ambassador volunteer position. Bilingual (fluent English and Spanish) volunteers also wanted.
Speakers: AARP educates the public and connects audiences to valuable information and resources. Our Speakers Bureau offers free presentations on health, finance, fraud prevention, technology, and dozens of other topics pertinent to the 50+ population. Presentations may be made in person or virtually. AARP provides speakers with training and support materials.
Learn more about the Speaker volunteer position. Bilingual (fluent English and Spanish) volunteers also wanted.
Whatever volunteer role you are looking for, we have something that will fit your interests, skills, and schedule. Every valued volunteer plays an important role at AARP South Florida, and we are excited to have you join our team.
