Volunteer Opportunities

AARP has created a customized site, powered by Volunteer Match, to assist AARP members and other potential volunteers in finding service opportunities in their communities quickly and easily. The site features AARP volunteer opportunities, along with a wide variety of other community based opportunities of interest to our members.

Visitors to the Web site enter their zip code, interests and time availability to search a national database of community based volunteer opportunities. In response, they quickly receive a personalized list of local up-to-date volunteer possibilities. An individual's expression of interest in a particular volunteer opportunity is sent directly to the listing organization. The listing organization contacts the potential volunteer to provide more detail about each of the positions.

With over thousands of organizations listing their volunteer opportunities with the Volunteer Match database, this online recruitment tool provides AARP members and other potential volunteers with access to volunteer opportunities in most every community across the country.
