            &nbsp;
  In the years following World War II, as the United States entered a period of rapid social and economic change, older Americans began to confront a new set of challenges. Access to health care, protection from workplace discrimination, and opportunities to remain engaged in civic life were often limited. Out of this landscape emerged an organization that would later be known as AARP, initially built around the simple but powerful belief that older adults deserved respect, security, and meaningful choices about how they lived.
  The roots of AARP trace back to educator and principal Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, who discovered that a retired teacher was living in a chicken coop because she could not afford decent housing or medical care. This encounter deeply affected Andrus and inspired her to create a network to support retired teachers, and later, a broader association that would serve all older Americans. Over time, that vision grew into a national movement focused on advocacy, information, and practical benefits that could make everyday life more manageable and dignified.
  As the organization evolved, it began to focus on three central pillars: economic security, health, and personal fulfillment. Economic security meant working to protect Social Security and pensions, while also providing tools and resources to help individuals understand savings, retirement planning, and work opportunities later in life. Health meant advocating for access to medical care, promoting wellness, and ensuring that older adults had accurate, easy-to-understand information about their coverage options. Personal fulfillment encompassed lifelong learning, community engagement, and the chance to remain active and connected.
  In the 1960s and 1970s, AARP expanded its role in public policy, testifying before Congress, commissioning research, and mobilizing members to speak up on issues such as Medicare, age discrimination, and prescription drug coverage. These efforts were not abstract debates; they were grounded in stories from members who struggled with rising medical bills, limited insurance options, and a lack of workplace protections. The organization became known not only as a membership group but also as a prominent voice for older adults in national conversations about fairness and opportunity.
  During the following decades, AARP continued to adapt to changing demographics. As life expectancy increased and people began to live longer, more active lives, the idea of what it meant to be “older” shifted. AARP responded by developing new programs focused on encore careers, digital literacy, caregiving support, and fraud prevention. It also broadened its communication channels, moving beyond print to offer online tools, interactive workshops, and resources that could be accessed from home, libraries, or community centers.
  The impact of AARP can be seen not just in legislation or policy changes, but in the everyday routines of its members. Imagine, for example, a retired postal worker named Helen who lives in a mid-sized town. Each morning, she brews a pot of coffee and sits at her kitchen table with her tablet. She logs into an AARP portal to check on articles about managing savings, staying active, and understanding the latest changes to Medicare. The information helps her feel prepared when she visits her doctor, and she brings a list of questions she has compiled from the organization’s health guides.
  Helen’s use of AARP does not end with information. Once a month, she attends a local community event organized in partnership with AARP volunteers, where residents gather to learn about fraud prevention and safe online practices. At one session, she hears a presentation about common phone scams targeting older adults. A few weeks later, when she receives a suspicious call asking for her banking details, she recognizes the warning signs immediately and hangs up. She later shares what she learned with her neighbor, who had nearly been tricked by a similar scheme.
  On Thursdays, Helen volunteers at a nearby food pantry. She originally found the opportunity through a volunteer-matching tool that AARP highlighted in one of its newsletters. The work gives her a sense of purpose and connection; she greets visitors, organizes donated items, and trains newer volunteers who are just learning the ropes. The sense of community she experiences there is reinforced by the stories she reads in AARP publications about people her age who are mentoring, teaching, or supporting others in creative ways.
  Travel is another part of Helen’s life that is influenced by the resources available to her. When she plans a trip to visit her grandchildren in another state, she looks at AARP-branded travel tips and member discount listings to find a hotel that fits her budget and comfort level. The savings may be modest on each stay, but over time they allow her to visit more often. She also reads safety and wellness advice for travelers, such as how to manage medications on the road and stay active during long trips, which helps her feel confident and prepared.
  Through Helen’s routine—reading articles over coffee, asking better questions at medical appointments, recognizing fraud attempts, volunteering in her community, and stretching her travel budget—you can see how the history and mission of AARP translate into daily life. What began as a response to one retired teacher’s hardship has grown into a broad set of tools, protections, and opportunities. The organization’s story is woven into countless individual stories like Helen’s, where information, advocacy, and benefits come together to support independence, security, and a continued sense of possibility at every stage of later life.

<div style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium', 'Arial Narrow', Arial, sans-serif; width:0; height:0; line-height:0; overflow:hidden;">
  <p>In the years following World War II, as the United States entered a period of rapid social and economic change, older Americans began to confront a new set of challenges. Access to health care, protection from workplace discrimination, and opportunities to remain engaged in civic life were often limited. Out of this landscape emerged an organization that would later be known as AARP, initially built around the simple but powerful belief that older adults deserved respect, security, and meaningful choices about how they lived.</p>
  <p>The roots of AARP trace back to educator and principal Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, who discovered that a retired teacher was living in a chicken coop because she could not afford decent housing or medical care. This encounter deeply affected Andrus and inspired her to create a network to support retired teachers, and later, a broader association that would serve all older Americans. Over time, that vision grew into a national movement focused on advocacy, information, and practical benefits that could make everyday life more manageable and dignified.</p>
  <p>As the organization evolved, it began to focus on three central pillars: economic security, health, and personal fulfillment. Economic security meant working to protect Social Security and pensions, while also providing tools and resources to help individuals understand savings, retirement planning, and work opportunities later in life. Health meant advocating for access to medical care, promoting wellness, and ensuring that older adults had accurate, easy-to-understand information about their coverage options. Personal fulfillment encompassed lifelong learning, community engagement, and the chance to remain active and connected.</p>
  <p>In the 1960s and 1970s, AARP expanded its role in public policy, testifying before Congress, commissioning research, and mobilizing members to speak up on issues such as Medicare, age discrimination, and prescription drug coverage. These efforts were not abstract debates; they were grounded in stories from members who struggled with rising medical bills, limited insurance options, and a lack of workplace protections. The organization became known not only as a membership group but also as a prominent voice for older adults in national conversations about fairness and opportunity.</p>
  <p>During the following decades, AARP continued to adapt to changing demographics. As life expectancy increased and people began to live longer, more active lives, the idea of what it meant to be “older” shifted. AARP responded by developing new programs focused on encore careers, digital literacy, caregiving support, and fraud prevention. It also broadened its communication channels, moving beyond print to offer online tools, interactive workshops, and resources that could be accessed from home, libraries, or community centers.</p>
  <p>The impact of AARP can be seen not just in legislation or policy changes, but in the everyday routines of its members. Imagine, for example, a retired postal worker named Helen who lives in a mid-sized town. Each morning, she brews a pot of coffee and sits at her kitchen table with her tablet. She logs into an AARP portal to check on articles about managing savings, staying active, and understanding the latest changes to Medicare. The information helps her feel prepared when she visits her doctor, and she brings a list of questions she has compiled from the organization’s health guides.</p>
  <p>Helen’s use of AARP does not end with information. Once a month, she attends a local community event organized in partnership with AARP volunteers, where residents gather to learn about fraud prevention and safe online practices. At one session, she hears a presentation about common phone scams targeting older adults. A few weeks later, when she receives a suspicious call asking for her banking details, she recognizes the warning signs immediately and hangs up. She later shares what she learned with her neighbor, who had nearly been tricked by a similar scheme.</p>
  <p>On Thursdays, Helen volunteers at a nearby food pantry. She originally found the opportunity through a volunteer-matching tool that AARP highlighted in one of its newsletters. The work gives her a sense of purpose and connection; she greets visitors, organizes donated items, and trains newer volunteers who are just learning the ropes. The sense of community she experiences there is reinforced by the stories she reads in AARP publications about people her age who are mentoring, teaching, or supporting others in creative ways.</p>
  <p>Travel is another part of Helen’s life that is influenced by the resources available to her. When she plans a trip to visit her grandchildren in another state, she looks at AARP-branded travel tips and member discount listings to find a hotel that fits her budget and comfort level. The savings may be modest on each stay, but over time they allow her to visit more often. She also reads safety and wellness advice for travelers, such as how to manage medications on the road and stay active during long trips, which helps her feel confident and prepared.</p>
  <p>Through Helen’s routine—reading articles over coffee, asking better questions at medical appointments, recognizing fraud attempts, volunteering in her community, and stretching her travel budget—you can see how the history and mission of AARP translate into daily life. What began as a response to one retired teacher’s hardship has grown into a broad set of tools, protections, and opportunities. The organization’s story is woven into countless individual stories like Helen’s, where information, advocacy, and benefits come together to support independence, security, and a continued sense of possibility at every stage of later life.</p>
