AARP Volunteer Fast Track In-Person Event

Whether you are new to AARP or have been volunteering with us for 20 years, we want to ensure that every one of our volunteers has a common orientation and the most up-to-date training.  “Fast Track” is a quick (about 25 minutes per session) three-part series offered by AARP’s Office of Volunteer Engagement (OVE) that is available on demand on the Volunteer Portal and highly recommended by State President Elizabeth Howlett.  It is our goal that every volunteer complete “Fast Track.”

We invite you to access Fast Track on your own time and email Mara Cassata mcassata@aarp.org that you’ve completed it – or to join the AARP Rhode Island team and fellow volunteers for a group opportunity:

Thursday July 23, noon – 1:30 pm:  IN PERSON EXPERIENCE with lunch. We will watch the trainings together in the AARP Rhode Island office, 10 Orms St. Suite 200 Providence, and have time for discussion and Q and A.

The event will screen “Fast Track” Session One and Session Two (see below for content).  Based on attendees’ feedback, we will likely offer more such opportunities in the Fall.

SESSION ONE – General Orientation

Provides a volunteer's view of AARP. Highlights include AARP (then and now), volunteer guidelines and opportunities. This Session gives you an excellent foundation from which to start your AARP Volunteer journey.

SESSION TWO –Structure/Organization

Presents the AARP national and state structure, the regional models and volunteer resources. You will learn the big picture of AARP and see behind the scenes and the inner workings of this great organization.
