Volunteer Opportunities
Connect with your community
This September, connect with your neighbors in service to your community.
AARP Foundation is partnering with 9/11 Day to encourage people across the country to engage in community service as a special tribute on the 20th anniversary of September 11.
And, on September 28, AARP Foundation will celebrate National Good Neighbor Day. Being a good neighbor is about building critical social connections that help to increase the resiliency of all communities.
Scroll down to find ideas and opportunities to volunteer, whether virtually or in an environment where precautions have been taken to keep volunteers safe and following CDC guidelines.
Let us know how you give back! Take photos and share your volunteering experiences via social media — tag #AARPFoundation and #whereivolunteer — or by contacting [email protected].

Healthy and fulfilling social connections can bring out the best in humans.
Studies show that isolation and loneliness are as bad for your health as smoking or obesity — especially if you’re over 50.
Isolation is more than being alone. It’s the result of being disconnected from support groups of family, friends and community.
Family members and neighbors are often the first to notice the signs of isolation but may not know how to interpret them — or what to do about them.
