About Frederick Chapter 636
Chapter 636 of Frederick, Maryland, is a chartered entity of AARP, and a face—and heart—for AARP in the local community. Chapters are unique, “in that they are service centers and do not stress or promote activities of an entertainment, social, or recreational nature.”
The chapter’s mission is to provide a link at the local level between members, communities, and AARP’s programs and services. The chapter’s leadership and commitment to volunteerism is an invaluable resource in making our communities better places to live and work for all people.
Chapters advance the mission, programs, and activities of AARP, supporting it with goals and objectives set across a range of functions, including the following.
Community Service—Create and enhance opportunities for members to be involved in activities that address a platform of community needs.
Leadership—Develop members’ skills and potential to assume positions of increasing responsibility within their chapter, their community, and AARP.
Communication—Facilitate the exchange of information between members and AARP, typically through the state offices.
Recruitment—Increase chapter and AARP membership, ensuring continued growth with greater member-diversity.
