Charita Jackson-Durosinmi also works with Westside Family Healthcare’s Family Health Ambassador Program. This program provides services primarily to mothers-to-be, new mothers and care providers and their families in designated zones within the state of Delaware.

George currently serves as AARP’s State President, its top volunteer. AARP Advocates at the State and Federal level to give Delawareans a voice. The First State Action Team, a group of advocacy volunteers, works with statewide coalitions of partners on policy issues that affect AARP’s 189,000 members in Delaware, potential members, and their families. George has been instrumental in helping to navigate the environment and pass a key piece of legislation in 2016, the CARE Act. The CARE Act provides more supports for unpaid family caregivers.
