Award Recognizes Those Who Make a Powerful Difference in Their Community
AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2026 New York Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ New Yorkers who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.
“AARP New York is excited to shine a light on 50+ New Yorkers who are using what they’ve learned in life to make a difference in the lives around them,” said Beth Finkel, State Director of AARP New York. “We encourage New Yorkers to nominate volunteers whose dedication and service are strengthening communities across our state.”
Nominations will be evaluated by AARP New York staff based on how the volunteer’s work has improved the community, reflected AARP’s vision and mission, and inspired other volunteers. The award recipient will be announced in early fall.
Visit www.aarp.org/AndrusAward for complete eligibility requirements and the nomination form. The application deadline is August 31. For more information, contact Kemba Tamar, AARP New York Associate State Director for Volunteer Engagement and Resources, by email at nyaarp@aarp.org.
