AARP chapters offer a face and heart for AARP locally. As a strategic link between members, communities, and AARP programs and services, chapters bring members a variety of community service, education, leadership and fellowship opportunities.

Community service activities range from participation in AARP national programs to local mentoring and tutoring projects, food and clothing drives, friendly visits and much more. AARP chapters are well positioned to provide direct support to make life better in communities where members live and work. Stop by a monthly meeting and bring your ideas.
