            &nbsp;
    AARP traces its roots to the late 1950s, when educator Ethel Percy Andrus recognized that millions of older Americans lacked both a collective voice and access to dependable benefits. From its earliest days, the organization was built around a straightforward idea: people over 50 deserved dignity, security, and the ability to remain active participants in American life. What began as a modest effort to connect retired teachers with affordable health coverage gradually grew into a nationwide movement, and the Association of Retired Persons evolved into AARP, welcoming all adults at midlife and beyond.
    Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, AARP became increasingly involved in public policy debates that would shape the lives of older citizens for generations. The organization advocated for the development and protection of Social Security and Medicare, pushed back against age-based discrimination in the workplace, and promoted the idea that retirement did not have to mean withdrawal from society. Its leaders published guides, newsletters, and educational materials that helped members understand new laws and complex benefits programs, making it easier for them to navigate an ever-changing system.
    As the decades passed, AARP expanded its focus from basic benefits to a more holistic view of life after 50. This broader perspective included health and wellness, financial resilience, caregiving, employment, and community engagement. The organization launched research initiatives to track the experiences of older adults, producing reports that lawmakers, journalists, and families could use to better understand issues like prescription drug affordability, long-term care, and retirement savings. AARP also recognized the power of storytelling and began sharing real member experiences to illustrate the challenges and possibilities of aging.
    One of the most visible expressions of AARP’s mission became its publications, including AARP The Magazine and the AARP Bulletin. These outlets reached tens of millions of households and provided a mix of service journalism, inspiring profiles, and practical advice. Articles explained how to claim Social Security benefits, compared health insurance options, and highlighted breakthroughs in medical research. At the same time, they profiled actors, musicians, scientists, and everyday people who were redefining what life after 50 could look like, demonstrating that creativity, ambition, and purpose do not have an expiration date.
    Over time, AARP also deepened its presence in communities across the United States. Local volunteers and staff organized events, workshops, and information sessions in libraries, senior centers, town halls, and neighborhood gathering places. These programs addressed topics such as fraud prevention, brain health, driving safety, and digital literacy. In many towns, an AARP-sponsored workshop might be the first time residents learned how to protect themselves from scams, or how to use new technology to stay in touch with distant family members. This community-level engagement became a cornerstone of how AARP carried out its mission day to day.
    In recent years, as technology reshaped nearly every aspect of daily life, AARP invested in digital tools and online resources to meet members where they were. The organization developed calculators for retirement planning, interactive checklists for caregiving, and online communities where people could share questions and advice. These tools complemented in-person events and telephone support, offering multiple ways for individuals to find the information they needed. The emphasis remained on practicality: helping members save money, stay healthy, and make well-informed choices about their future.
    Amid these broad historical trends, the value of AARP often comes into focus in the quiet details of a single person’s routine. Consider Maria, a 62-year-old former office manager who lives in a mid-sized city with her husband. Every morning, after brewing coffee, she sits at her kitchen table with her tablet and opens the AARP website. She scrolls through articles about healthy recipes, reads short tips on stretching to ease back pain, and checks the latest updates on Medicare so she can better plan for the next enrollment period. For her, these resources are not abstract benefits; they are part of the rhythm of starting her day feeling prepared and informed.
    Maria also uses AARP’s tools whenever she and her husband travel. When they decide to visit their grandchildren several states away, she logs in to compare hotel discounts and car rental offers available through AARP’s network. After selecting a deal that fits their budget, she reads an article about safe driving as we age, picking up a few suggestions for staying alert on long highway trips. On the road, she keeps a printed checklist from an AARP travel guide in the glove compartment, a small reminder that she has done everything she can to make the journey smooth and secure.
    Back home, Maria is caring for her aging mother, who lives across town. The caregiving responsibilities can be overwhelming, but she finds guidance in AARP’s caregiving materials and online forums. She downloads a planner that helps her track medications, doctor appointments, and important documents. On some evenings, she reads first-person accounts from other caregivers who have walked a similar path, finding reassurance that her frustrations and worries are shared by many. When she discovers a local workshop hosted by AARP on navigating long-term care options, she attends and leaves with a folder full of notes and a clearer sense of what steps to take next.
    Through Maria’s experience, the long history of AARP becomes visible in ordinary choices: which hotel to book, how to interpret a Medicare notice, when to seek respite as a caregiver, and how to stay engaged with the world. Decades of advocacy, research, and program development are distilled into the articles she reads over coffee, the discounts she redeems on vacation, and the support she draws on when caring for a loved one. In this way, the story of AARP is not just about policy victories or membership milestones; it is about countless daily moments in which older adults and their families feel a little more confident, protected, and connected because they have a reliable ally at their side.

    <p>AARP traces its roots to the late 1950s, when educator Ethel Percy Andrus recognized that millions of older Americans lacked both a collective voice and access to dependable benefits. From its earliest days, the organization was built around a straightforward idea: people over 50 deserved dignity, security, and the ability to remain active participants in American life. What began as a modest effort to connect retired teachers with affordable health coverage gradually grew into a nationwide movement, and the Association of Retired Persons evolved into AARP, welcoming all adults at midlife and beyond.</p>
    <p>Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, AARP became increasingly involved in public policy debates that would shape the lives of older citizens for generations. The organization advocated for the development and protection of Social Security and Medicare, pushed back against age-based discrimination in the workplace, and promoted the idea that retirement did not have to mean withdrawal from society. Its leaders published guides, newsletters, and educational materials that helped members understand new laws and complex benefits programs, making it easier for them to navigate an ever-changing system.</p>
    <p>As the decades passed, AARP expanded its focus from basic benefits to a more holistic view of life after 50. This broader perspective included health and wellness, financial resilience, caregiving, employment, and community engagement. The organization launched research initiatives to track the experiences of older adults, producing reports that lawmakers, journalists, and families could use to better understand issues like prescription drug affordability, long-term care, and retirement savings. AARP also recognized the power of storytelling and began sharing real member experiences to illustrate the challenges and possibilities of aging.</p>
    <p>One of the most visible expressions of AARP’s mission became its publications, including AARP The Magazine and the AARP Bulletin. These outlets reached tens of millions of households and provided a mix of service journalism, inspiring profiles, and practical advice. Articles explained how to claim Social Security benefits, compared health insurance options, and highlighted breakthroughs in medical research. At the same time, they profiled actors, musicians, scientists, and everyday people who were redefining what life after 50 could look like, demonstrating that creativity, ambition, and purpose do not have an expiration date.</p>
    <p>Over time, AARP also deepened its presence in communities across the United States. Local volunteers and staff organized events, workshops, and information sessions in libraries, senior centers, town halls, and neighborhood gathering places. These programs addressed topics such as fraud prevention, brain health, driving safety, and digital literacy. In many towns, an AARP-sponsored workshop might be the first time residents learned how to protect themselves from scams, or how to use new technology to stay in touch with distant family members. This community-level engagement became a cornerstone of how AARP carried out its mission day to day.</p>
    <p>In recent years, as technology reshaped nearly every aspect of daily life, AARP invested in digital tools and online resources to meet members where they were. The organization developed calculators for retirement planning, interactive checklists for caregiving, and online communities where people could share questions and advice. These tools complemented in-person events and telephone support, offering multiple ways for individuals to find the information they needed. The emphasis remained on practicality: helping members save money, stay healthy, and make well-informed choices about their future.</p>
    <p>Amid these broad historical trends, the value of AARP often comes into focus in the quiet details of a single person’s routine. Consider Maria, a 62-year-old former office manager who lives in a mid-sized city with her husband. Every morning, after brewing coffee, she sits at her kitchen table with her tablet and opens the AARP website. She scrolls through articles about healthy recipes, reads short tips on stretching to ease back pain, and checks the latest updates on Medicare so she can better plan for the next enrollment period. For her, these resources are not abstract benefits; they are part of the rhythm of starting her day feeling prepared and informed.</p>
    <p>Maria also uses AARP’s tools whenever she and her husband travel. When they decide to visit their grandchildren several states away, she logs in to compare hotel discounts and car rental offers available through AARP’s network. After selecting a deal that fits their budget, she reads an article about safe driving as we age, picking up a few suggestions for staying alert on long highway trips. On the road, she keeps a printed checklist from an AARP travel guide in the glove compartment, a small reminder that she has done everything she can to make the journey smooth and secure.</p>
    <p>Back home, Maria is caring for her aging mother, who lives across town. The caregiving responsibilities can be overwhelming, but she finds guidance in AARP’s caregiving materials and online forums. She downloads a planner that helps her track medications, doctor appointments, and important documents. On some evenings, she reads first-person accounts from other caregivers who have walked a similar path, finding reassurance that her frustrations and worries are shared by many. When she discovers a local workshop hosted by AARP on navigating long-term care options, she attends and leaves with a folder full of notes and a clearer sense of what steps to take next.</p>
    <p>Through Maria’s experience, the long history of AARP becomes visible in ordinary choices: which hotel to book, how to interpret a Medicare notice, when to seek respite as a caregiver, and how to stay engaged with the world. Decades of advocacy, research, and program development are distilled into the articles she reads over coffee, the discounts she redeems on vacation, and the support she draws on when caring for a loved one. In this way, the story of AARP is not just about policy victories or membership milestones; it is about countless daily moments in which older adults and their families feel a little more confident, protected, and connected because they have a reliable ally at their side.</p>
