            &nbsp;
    AARP traces its roots to the late 1950s, when a retired high school principal named Ethel Percy Andrus discovered that many older Americans were living without adequate income, health care, or a clear voice in public life. What began as a small effort to help retired educators obtain access to group health insurance gradually evolved into a broad-based organization focused on improving life for people as they age. Over time, this mission crystallized into a simple idea: empower individuals to choose how they live as they grow older, with dignity, security, and opportunity.
    In the decades that followed, AARP steadily expanded its presence in Washington, DC and in state capitals across the country. Its policy experts and volunteer advocates weighed in on Social Security, Medicare, and consumer protections, always with an eye toward safeguarding the financial and health security of older adults. The organization helped shape landmark legislation, offered research that informed debates, and created a structure that allowed members to share their experiences directly with policymakers. This history of advocacy became one of the defining characteristics of AARP, setting it apart from purely commercial membership programs.
    Alongside its public policy work, AARP developed a wide range of member benefits intended to address everyday needs. Early on, this included access to insurance products that were difficult for older Americans to find at reasonable cost. Over time, the menu expanded to encompass travel discounts, financial planning resources, and educational materials on healthy living. The idea was not just to save members money, but to help them navigate an increasingly complex marketplace. Through guides, calculators, and comparison tools, AARP provided practical ways to make informed choices about housing, work, caregiving, and retirement.
    Communication has always been central to AARP’s approach. AARP The Magazine and the AARP Bulletin grew into publications with some of the largest circulations in the United States, offering news, service journalism, and personal stories that reflect the realities of life after 50. Articles about health breakthroughs, fraud prevention, brain fitness, and encore careers sit next to interviews with public figures who share their own experiences of aging. Through these channels, AARP helped reshape cultural perceptions, emphasizing that later life can be a time of contribution, learning, and creativity rather than decline.
    As technology evolved, AARP moved online, building tools and resources that members could access from home, on the go, or even from a phone while standing in a store aisle. Retirement calculators allowed people to test different scenarios, while job boards and skills-training modules supported those looking for work or considering a new career path. Health checklists, caregiving resource centers, and fraud watch alerts gave members timely, actionable information. These digital offerings reflected the same mission that guided AARP’s early years, but adapted to the ways people now search for help and make decisions.
    The organization also built an extensive volunteer network. Local chapters, community events, and service projects gave members chances to stay engaged and connected. From tax preparation assistance to driver safety courses, AARP volunteers became a familiar presence in libraries, community centers, and town halls. This community-based work underscored a belief that aging is not only an individual journey, but also a shared social experience where people look out for one another. By offering structured ways to give back, AARP turned membership into a pathway for civic participation.
    Consider, for example, a member named Helen, who lives in a small Midwestern town. In her early sixties, she had recently cut back her hours at work and was unsure how long she could afford to stay partially employed. Through an article she read in AARP The Magazine, she discovered a link to an online Social Security claiming tool. One evening, sitting at her kitchen table with a cup of tea, she entered her work history, experimented with different claiming ages, and saw how waiting a few more years could significantly increase her monthly benefit. That insight gave her the confidence to adjust her plans and talk with a financial advisor in a more informed way.
    Helen’s daily routine gradually came to include other AARP resources. On mornings when she walked at the local track, she listened to health podcasts she found through the AARP website, learning about joint care and heart health. When her car needed repairs, she checked member discounts to compare rental rates for a weekend trip she had been putting off. She signed up for fraud alerts and, a few months later, recognized the warning signs in a suspicious phone call to her elderly neighbor, helping to prevent the neighbor from sharing bank information. Little by little, AARP became woven into small decisions that added up to a greater sense of security.
    As her parents’ health began to decline, Helen turned again to AARP, this time exploring its caregiving resources. She downloaded checklists to organize medications and doctor visits, read first-person accounts from other caregivers, and joined an online forum where members exchanged advice about balancing work, self-care, and family responsibilities. On particularly stressful days, she revisited those stories for reassurance that she was not alone. She also attended a local AARP-sponsored workshop at the public library, where she met other caregivers from her town and learned about respite care options she had not known existed.
    Helen’s experience reflects a broader pattern in AARP’s history: what began as a focused effort to fill gaps in health coverage for retired teachers has grown into a multifaceted support system for millions of people navigating life after 50. The organization’s advocacy, information, discounts, and volunteer opportunities work together to address both big policy questions and the small, daily choices that shape how people live. From its founding to the present day, AARP’s evolution has been guided by the same core principle—that aging should come with options, respect, and the tools people need to chart their own path.

  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    AARP traces its roots to the late 1950s, when a retired high school principal named Ethel Percy Andrus discovered that many older Americans were living without adequate income, health care, or a clear voice in public life. What began as a small effort to help retired educators obtain access to group health insurance gradually evolved into a broad-based organization focused on improving life for people as they age. Over time, this mission crystallized into a simple idea: empower individuals to choose how they live as they grow older, with dignity, security, and opportunity.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    In the decades that followed, AARP steadily expanded its presence in Washington, DC and in state capitals across the country. Its policy experts and volunteer advocates weighed in on Social Security, Medicare, and consumer protections, always with an eye toward safeguarding the financial and health security of older adults. The organization helped shape landmark legislation, offered research that informed debates, and created a structure that allowed members to share their experiences directly with policymakers. This history of advocacy became one of the defining characteristics of AARP, setting it apart from purely commercial membership programs.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    Alongside its public policy work, AARP developed a wide range of member benefits intended to address everyday needs. Early on, this included access to insurance products that were difficult for older Americans to find at reasonable cost. Over time, the menu expanded to encompass travel discounts, financial planning resources, and educational materials on healthy living. The idea was not just to save members money, but to help them navigate an increasingly complex marketplace. Through guides, calculators, and comparison tools, AARP provided practical ways to make informed choices about housing, work, caregiving, and retirement.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    Communication has always been central to AARP’s approach. AARP The Magazine and the AARP Bulletin grew into publications with some of the largest circulations in the United States, offering news, service journalism, and personal stories that reflect the realities of life after 50. Articles about health breakthroughs, fraud prevention, brain fitness, and encore careers sit next to interviews with public figures who share their own experiences of aging. Through these channels, AARP helped reshape cultural perceptions, emphasizing that later life can be a time of contribution, learning, and creativity rather than decline.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    As technology evolved, AARP moved online, building tools and resources that members could access from home, on the go, or even from a phone while standing in a store aisle. Retirement calculators allowed people to test different scenarios, while job boards and skills-training modules supported those looking for work or considering a new career path. Health checklists, caregiving resource centers, and fraud watch alerts gave members timely, actionable information. These digital offerings reflected the same mission that guided AARP’s early years, but adapted to the ways people now search for help and make decisions.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    The organization also built an extensive volunteer network. Local chapters, community events, and service projects gave members chances to stay engaged and connected. From tax preparation assistance to driver safety courses, AARP volunteers became a familiar presence in libraries, community centers, and town halls. This community-based work underscored a belief that aging is not only an individual journey, but also a shared social experience where people look out for one another. By offering structured ways to give back, AARP turned membership into a pathway for civic participation.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    Consider, for example, a member named Helen, who lives in a small Midwestern town. In her early sixties, she had recently cut back her hours at work and was unsure how long she could afford to stay partially employed. Through an article she read in AARP The Magazine, she discovered a link to an online Social Security claiming tool. One evening, sitting at her kitchen table with a cup of tea, she entered her work history, experimented with different claiming ages, and saw how waiting a few more years could significantly increase her monthly benefit. That insight gave her the confidence to adjust her plans and talk with a financial advisor in a more informed way.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    Helen’s daily routine gradually came to include other AARP resources. On mornings when she walked at the local track, she listened to health podcasts she found through the AARP website, learning about joint care and heart health. When her car needed repairs, she checked member discounts to compare rental rates for a weekend trip she had been putting off. She signed up for fraud alerts and, a few months later, recognized the warning signs in a suspicious phone call to her elderly neighbor, helping to prevent the neighbor from sharing bank information. Little by little, AARP became woven into small decisions that added up to a greater sense of security.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    As her parents’ health began to decline, Helen turned again to AARP, this time exploring its caregiving resources. She downloaded checklists to organize medications and doctor visits, read first-person accounts from other caregivers, and joined an online forum where members exchanged advice about balancing work, self-care, and family responsibilities. On particularly stressful days, she revisited those stories for reassurance that she was not alone. She also attended a local AARP-sponsored workshop at the public library, where she met other caregivers from her town and learned about respite care options she had not known existed.
  </p>
  <p style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; color:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;">
    Helen’s experience reflects a broader pattern in AARP’s history: what began as a focused effort to fill gaps in health coverage for retired teachers has grown into a multifaceted support system for millions of people navigating life after 50. The organization’s advocacy, information, discounts, and volunteer opportunities work together to address both big policy questions and the small, daily choices that shape how people live. From its founding to the present day, AARP’s evolution has been guided by the same core principle—that aging should come with options, respect, and the tools people need to chart their own path.
