            &nbsp;
      AARP, originally founded in 1958 by educator Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, emerged from a simple but powerful idea: older Americans deserved organized access to affordable health insurance, meaningful community, and a respected voice in public life. At the time, many retired teachers and workers had few options when they left the workforce. Andrus saw first-hand how one retired teacher was living in a converted chicken coop because she could not afford better housing or medical care. This experience pushed her to create the National Retired Teachers Association and later expand it into what would become AARP, a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to people in midlife and beyond. From the beginning, AARP sought not just to offer discounts, but to reshape how society thinks about aging, insisting that people over 50 could remain active contributors, advocates, and innovators.
      Over the decades, AARP grew into one of the most influential membership organizations in the United States, combining education, advocacy, and practical services. In the 1960s and 1970s, as Medicare and Social Security became central pillars of retirement security, AARP positioned itself as a key defender of these programs, providing members with clear information about their rights and benefits. The organization published guides that explained complex laws in plain language, helping millions understand how to navigate new federal programs. AARP also started to experiment with group insurance offerings, travel benefits, and consumer guides that reflected the evolving needs of an aging population. While critics sometimes debated its size and influence, members valued the combination of advocacy and day-to-day support.
      As the American economy shifted in the 1980s and 1990s, AARP adapted its focus to include work and financial security in midlife. The organization produced research on age discrimination in hiring, launched job boards for experienced workers, and partnered with employers to highlight the value of older employees. It also created robust financial education materials that explained retirement planning, pension changes, and the growing importance of 401(k) accounts. This period saw the rise of AARP&#8217;s flagship publications, including AARP The Magazine and AARP Bulletin, which blended celebrity interviews, health advice, financial tips, and investigative reporting. The goal was to inform, but also to inspire, showing readers that turning 50 could be the start of a new chapter rather than an endpoint.
      In the early 2000s, AARP invested heavily in digital tools and online resources, recognizing that members were increasingly comfortable using computers and, later, smartphones. The organization launched interactive calculators to help people estimate retirement income, Social Security claiming strategies, and health care costs. It expanded its website to include articles on caregiving, technology, travel, and healthy living, and built online communities where members could ask questions and share experiences. At the same time, AARP continued to maintain a strong presence in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals, testifying before legislative committees and mobilizing volunteers when major changes to Medicare or Social Security were proposed. This combination of digital innovation and traditional advocacy reflected AARP&#8217;s dual identity as both a modern service provider and a classic membership association.
      AARP&#8217;s history is also shaped by its local impact. Through state offices and community partners, the organization has offered driver safety courses, tax preparation assistance, fraud prevention workshops, and volunteer programs that connect members with schools, food banks, and neighborhood projects. These initiatives helped demonstrate that AARP was not just a distant national brand, but a presence in local libraries, community centers, and houses of worship. The emphasis on volunteering also echoed Dr. Andrus&#8217;s original belief that older adults want to remain useful and engaged, not simply receive services. In many towns, AARP-branded events became reliable fixtures on the community calendar, providing both information and social connection.
      Consider the daily routine of someone like Harold, a 67-year-old retired engineer living in a small Midwestern city, who has been an AARP member for several years. Harold starts his morning with coffee at the kitchen table, where he reads an article from AARP&#8217;s website on how to avoid the latest phone scams targeting older consumers. The article prompts him to talk with his neighbor, a recent widower, about screening calls and using call-blocking tools. Later that day, Harold logs in to an AARP online calculator to compare different timelines for claiming Social Security benefits. He discovers that waiting one more year could significantly increase his monthly payment, and he uses that information to adjust his budget and travel plans. The resources are not abstract; they shape the practical choices he makes every day.
      Harold also takes advantage of AARP&#8217;s community programs. Once a week, he volunteers at a local elementary school through a literacy initiative he first heard about in an AARP email newsletter. He spends an hour helping third graders with reading comprehension, and he enjoys the structure and sense of purpose it brings. On the drive to the school, he uses a rental car discount obtained through his membership to keep his transportation costs manageable while his own vehicle is in the shop. After his volunteer shift, he stops for lunch at a nearby restaurant that offers an AARP discount, using his membership card when he pays. These savings are modest in any single moment, but over the course of the month they add up, reinforcing his feeling that his membership is woven into the rhythm of his days.
      In the afternoons, Harold often checks AARP&#8217;s job resources, even though he is officially retired. He occasionally consults on engineering projects, and the AARP job board gives him ideas about flexible, part-time roles that match his skills. He reads an AARP article about negotiating remote work arrangements and uses some of the suggested language when he emails a potential client. On quieter days, he participates in an online fitness class recommended in an AARP health newsletter, following along with low-impact exercises designed for older adults who want to maintain mobility and balance. He appreciates that the instructors acknowledge common challenges like joint stiffness without being patronizing.
      As evening approaches, Harold sits down with a copy of AARP The Magazine that arrived in the mail earlier in the week. An interview with a well-known actor in his 70s reminds him that creative reinvention is possible at any age. Another article profiles a group of older volunteers who organized a neighborhood resilience project, inspiring him to attend a virtual town hall hosted by his state AARP office about emergency preparedness. Before bed, he signs into an AARP webinar on estate planning, taking notes on questions to ask his attorney about updating his will and health care proxy. By the time he turns off the light, he has interacted with AARP in at least four different ways without ever consciously planning to do so.
      The story of Harold&#8217;s day illustrates how AARP&#8217;s long history and evolving mission translate into lived experience. What began as a small effort to secure health insurance for retired teachers has grown into an ecosystem of information, discounts, advocacy, and community-building that can touch nearly every aspect of life after 50. Members like Harold benefit from the organization&#8217;s decades of policy work, its relationships with trusted partners, and its commitment to presenting complex topics in accessible formats. The history of AARP is not just a sequence of milestones; it is reflected in the quiet, practical decisions people make about their money, health, work, and time.
      Looking ahead, AARP continues to adapt to demographic and technological change. As new generations approach 50 with different expectations about work, caregiving, and retirement, the organization is experimenting with fresh formats, from podcasts and virtual events to interactive tools that blend financial planning with wellness goals. Yet the core principles that guided Dr. Andrus still anchor its efforts: dignity, independence, and choice for older adults. Whether someone joins for the travel discounts, the trusted health information, or the chance to influence public policy, they are stepping into a legacy that spans more than half a century. That legacy is renewed every day when individuals like Harold open an email, attend a workshop, help a neighbor, or simply make a better-informed decision because of something they learned through AARP.

      AARP, originally founded in 1958 by educator Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, emerged from a simple but powerful idea: older Americans deserved organized access to affordable health insurance, meaningful community, and a respected voice in public life. At the time, many retired teachers and workers had few options when they left the workforce. Andrus saw first-hand how one retired teacher was living in a converted chicken coop because she could not afford better housing or medical care. This experience pushed her to create the National Retired Teachers Association and later expand it into what would become AARP, a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to people in midlife and beyond. From the beginning, AARP sought not just to offer discounts, but to reshape how society thinks about aging, insisting that people over 50 could remain active contributors, advocates, and innovators.

      Over the decades, AARP grew into one of the most influential membership organizations in the United States, combining education, advocacy, and practical services. In the 1960s and 1970s, as Medicare and Social Security became central pillars of retirement security, AARP positioned itself as a key defender of these programs, providing members with clear information about their rights and benefits. The organization published guides that explained complex laws in plain language, helping millions understand how to navigate new federal programs. AARP also started to experiment with group insurance offerings, travel benefits, and consumer guides that reflected the evolving needs of an aging population. While critics sometimes debated its size and influence, members valued the combination of advocacy and day-to-day support.

      As the American economy shifted in the 1980s and 1990s, AARP adapted its focus to include work and financial security in midlife. The organization produced research on age discrimination in hiring, launched job boards for experienced workers, and partnered with employers to highlight the value of older employees. It also created robust financial education materials that explained retirement planning, pension changes, and the growing importance of 401(k) accounts. This period saw the rise of AARP&#8217;s flagship publications, including AARP The Magazine and AARP Bulletin, which blended celebrity interviews, health advice, financial tips, and investigative reporting. The goal was to inform, but also to inspire, showing readers that turning 50 could be the start of a new chapter rather than an endpoint.

      In the early 2000s, AARP invested heavily in digital tools and online resources, recognizing that members were increasingly comfortable using computers and, later, smartphones. The organization launched interactive calculators to help people estimate retirement income, Social Security claiming strategies, and health care costs. It expanded its website to include articles on caregiving, technology, travel, and healthy living, and built online communities where members could ask questions and share experiences. At the same time, AARP continued to maintain a strong presence in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals, testifying before legislative committees and mobilizing volunteers when major changes to Medicare or Social Security were proposed. This combination of digital innovation and traditional advocacy reflected AARP&#8217;s dual identity as both a modern service provider and a classic membership association.

      AARP&#8217;s history is also shaped by its local impact. Through state offices and community partners, the organization has offered driver safety courses, tax preparation assistance, fraud prevention workshops, and volunteer programs that connect members with schools, food banks, and neighborhood projects. These initiatives helped demonstrate that AARP was not just a distant national brand, but a presence in local libraries, community centers, and houses of worship. The emphasis on volunteering also echoed Dr. Andrus&#8217;s original belief that older adults want to remain useful and engaged, not simply receive services. In many towns, AARP-branded events became reliable fixtures on the community calendar, providing both information and social connection.

      Consider the daily routine of someone like Harold, a 67-year-old retired engineer living in a small Midwestern city, who has been an AARP member for several years. Harold starts his morning with coffee at the kitchen table, where he reads an article from AARP&#8217;s website on how to avoid the latest phone scams targeting older consumers. The article prompts him to talk with his neighbor, a recent widower, about screening calls and using call-blocking tools. Later that day, Harold logs in to an AARP online calculator to compare different timelines for claiming Social Security benefits. He discovers that waiting one more year could significantly increase his monthly payment, and he uses that information to adjust his budget and travel plans. The resources are not abstract; they shape the practical choices he makes every day.

      Harold also takes advantage of AARP&#8217;s community programs. Once a week, he volunteers at a local elementary school through a literacy initiative he first heard about in an AARP email newsletter. He spends an hour helping third graders with reading comprehension, and he enjoys the structure and sense of purpose it brings. On the drive to the school, he uses a rental car discount obtained through his membership to keep his transportation costs manageable while his own vehicle is in the shop. After his volunteer shift, he stops for lunch at a nearby restaurant that offers an AARP discount, using his membership card when he pays. These savings are modest in any single moment, but over the course of the month they add up, reinforcing his feeling that his membership is woven into the rhythm of his days.

      In the afternoons, Harold often checks AARP&#8217;s job resources, even though he is officially retired. He occasionally consults on engineering projects, and the AARP job board gives him ideas about flexible, part-time roles that match his skills. He reads an AARP article about negotiating remote work arrangements and uses some of the suggested language when he emails a potential client. On quieter days, he participates in an online fitness class recommended in an AARP health newsletter, following along with low-impact exercises designed for older adults who want to maintain mobility and balance. He appreciates that the instructors acknowledge common challenges like joint stiffness without being patronizing.

      As evening approaches, Harold sits down with a copy of AARP The Magazine that arrived in the mail earlier in the week. An interview with a well-known actor in his 70s reminds him that creative reinvention is possible at any age. Another article profiles a group of older volunteers who organized a neighborhood resilience project, inspiring him to attend a virtual town hall hosted by his state AARP office about emergency preparedness. Before bed, he signs into an AARP webinar on estate planning, taking notes on questions to ask his attorney about updating his will and health care proxy. By the time he turns off the light, he has interacted with AARP in at least four different ways without ever consciously planning to do so.

      The story of Harold&#8217;s day illustrates how AARP&#8217;s long history and evolving mission translate into lived experience. What began as a small effort to secure health insurance for retired teachers has grown into an ecosystem of information, discounts, advocacy, and community-building that can touch nearly every aspect of life after 50. Members like Harold benefit from the organization&#8217;s decades of policy work, its relationships with trusted partners, and its commitment to presenting complex topics in accessible formats. The history of AARP is not just a sequence of milestones; it is reflected in the quiet, practical decisions people make about their money, health, work, and time.

      Looking ahead, AARP continues to adapt to demographic and technological change. As new generations approach 50 with different expectations about work, caregiving, and retirement, the organization is experimenting with fresh formats, from podcasts and virtual events to interactive tools that blend financial planning with wellness goals. Yet the core principles that guided Dr. Andrus still anchor its efforts: dignity, independence, and choice for older adults. Whether someone joins for the travel discounts, the trusted health information, or the chance to influence public policy, they are stepping into a legacy that spans more than half a century. That legacy is renewed every day when individuals like Harold open an email, attend a workshop, help a neighbor, or simply make a better-informed decision because of something they learned through AARP.
