AARP Neighbors Create The Good Online 

Today, AARP is expanding the volunteering opportunities we promote to help people make a difference in their communities and beyond. Create The Good enables people to improve the lives of others, whether through a five-minute online commitment or an ongoing engagement. Join today to get email updates about easy ways you can get involved.

Many AARP members want to help, but often they are caring for children and parents while holding down full-time jobs, or even working into retirement years, leaving precious little time for volunteering. So the online mission of Create The Good is to provide easy access to a multitude of ways that people can help others in their communities—whether via the Internet, on the phone, or in person.

Visitors can use the database to search for or post a volunteer activity or information about local events that contribute to the health, safety, and well-being of others. Almost anyone—local agencies, individual members of communities and organizations—can post opportunities. We want to make it easy for you to lend a hand, in your time, on your terms.

We also recognize that our members can offer each other a wealth of ideas and wisdom. Create The Good, a group in our Online Community, was created for that purpose. Join the discussion, share your experiences, and get new ideas for events and actions that can help people in your communities like yours.
