      AARP traces its roots to the late 1950s, when a retired high school principal named Ethel Percy Andrus discovered that many former educators were struggling to find affordable health insurance. Her search for solutions led to the creation of the National Retired Teachers Association, and from that foundation AARP emerged as a broader organization focused on the needs and aspirations of older Americans. Over the decades, AARP evolved from a modest association with a few determined volunteers into a nationwide presence with millions of members and a far‐reaching voice in public life. Its history is closely tied to the changing expectations of aging in the United States, moving from a narrow focus on retirement to a more expansive view of living a full, active, and engaged life after 50.
      In the 1960s and 1970s, AARP grew alongside major social and economic changes. As Medicare and Social Security became pillars of the American safety net, AARP positioned itself as both an educator and an advocate, helping members understand new benefits while pushing policymakers to strengthen and protect them. The organization published guides, pamphlets, and newsletters that translated complex policy language into plain, practical information. At the same time, AARP began to negotiate group discounts and services, recognizing that collective buying power could make daily life more affordable for older adults. This combination of advocacy, information, and practical benefits became a defining pattern that still shapes AARP’s work today.
      As the baby boom generation approached midlife in the 1980s and 1990s, AARP confronted a new reality: aging Americans were not interested in quietly withdrawing from the workforce or public life. Instead, they were starting businesses, changing careers, returning to school, and caring for aging parents while still raising children of their own. AARP responded by expanding its programs beyond retirement planning to include job training resources, small‐business information, and tools for navigating work transitions. It invested in research on longevity, financial resilience, and caregiving, using that data to shape both its member offerings and its policy priorities. This shift helped recast AARP as an ally for people in the middle of their lives, not just those at the end of their careers.
      The rise of digital technology in the early 2000s brought another turning point. AARP began to build robust online platforms, offering articles, calculators, and interactive tools that members could access from home. Health assessments, retirement income estimators, and caregiving checklists were moved to the web, allowing people to experiment with scenarios and decisions in real time. The organization launched online communities where members could ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another across state lines. Over time, webinars, streaming events, and virtual workshops joined in‐person programs, making it easier for people in rural or remote areas to benefit from the same resources available in big cities.
      Alongside this digital transformation, AARP deepened its advocacy work at both the national and state levels. It championed protections against age discrimination in hiring, defended Social Security and Medicare from cuts that could weaken their long‐term stability, and promoted policies that support family caregivers. In many states, AARP volunteers testified at hearings, met with legislators, and helped draft proposals on issues ranging from prescription drug prices to consumer fraud protections. These efforts were rooted in a long tradition: from its earliest days, AARP saw older adults not just as beneficiaries of programs, but as citizens whose voices and votes could shape the direction of public policy.
      Over time, AARP also embraced the idea that aging well involves more than money and health care; it includes purpose, connection, and enjoyment. That belief is reflected in the wide array of content AARP produces, from articles on brain health and exercise to features on travel, cooking, and culture. Magazines and newsletters highlight stories of people who started new careers in their sixties, learned instruments in their seventies, or began volunteering in their eighties. Local chapters organize events, walking groups, and educational sessions. By celebrating these examples, AARP works to challenge stereotypes about aging and encourage members to see their later years as a time for growth and exploration.
      One morning in a small Midwestern town, a member named Harold sat at his kitchen table with a cup of coffee and his laptop open to the AARP website. At seventy‐two, he had recently retired from a long career in manufacturing and was trying to figure out what his next chapter might look like. He started his day, as he often did, by checking the latest news summaries and health tips posted on the site. That day he read an article about strength training for older adults and clicked through to a short video demonstration. Within minutes, he had scribbled down a simple routine he could try in his living room, deciding to replace a few minutes of morning television with light exercise.
      Later that week, Harold used an AARP job search tool to scan part‐time opportunities in his area. He discovered a listing for a tutoring position at a nearby community center, helping teenagers with math and basic science. Unsure about how to prepare, he downloaded a skills checklist and a short guide on interviewing later in life. He practiced potential questions, updated his resume using a template he found through an AARP resource, and walked into the interview with more confidence than he expected. When he was offered the role, he realized that the combination of practical tools and encouraging stories he had been reading for months had gently pushed him to imagine himself as useful and needed again.
      In the evenings, Harold explored other parts of the AARP ecosystem. He registered for an online workshop about avoiding scams that target older adults, then shared what he learned with neighbors in his apartment building. He discovered discounts that helped him save on his cell phone plan and on new eyeglasses, freeing up a little extra money each month. On weekends, he played a few of the online games available to members, enjoying the mental challenge and the nostalgia of classic titles. Over time, these small, everyday interactions with AARP resources became woven into the rhythm of his days. They did not change who he was overnight, but they gave him tools, knowledge, and a sense of community that made his life after retirement feel more secure, more active, and more connected.
