Andrus Award

AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2022 Idaho Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors Idahoans age 50 and over who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members. 

Nominations will be evaluated by the AARP Idaho state office 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.
