AARP traces its roots back to the late 1950s, when a retired high school principal named Ethel Percy Andrus discovered that many older Americans were living without adequate income or health protection. She saw retired educators struggling to pay for basic medical care and recognized that there was no broad, unified organization dedicated to addressing the everyday concerns of people as they aged. From that realization grew the American Association of Retired Persons, which would later become known simply as AARP, a nationwide nonprofit focused on empowering people to choose how they live as they get older.
In its early years, AARP focused heavily on securing access to affordable health coverage for retirees. At a time when private insurance companies were reluctant to insure older adults, AARP helped organize group insurance options and negotiated on behalf of its members. This work complemented the evolving Social Security and Medicare systems, and over time AARP became a prominent advocate in national conversations about retirement security, prescription drug costs, and long-term care. The organization steadily built a reputation as a trusted source of information and a strong voice in public policy debates affecting people over 50.
As decades passed, AARP expanded from a membership club for retirees into a broad-based organization serving people at midlife and beyond. It developed magazines, newsletters, and later online resources to help individuals navigate everything from financial planning to caregiving. AARP began commissioning research on aging, employment trends, and community design, helping to shape how policymakers and businesses think about an aging population. Its presence in Washington, DC and all 50 states became a key factor in debates over Social Security, Medicare, and protections against age discrimination in the workplace.
Alongside its policy work, AARP also built a broad catalog of member benefits aimed at everyday life. Over time, members gained access to discounts on groceries, travel, dining, cell phone services, eyeglasses, and other essentials. The idea was not only to save people money, but also to encourage them to remain active, engaged, and connected. AARP supported volunteer programs, community events, and educational workshops, gradually becoming a familiar name in local libraries, community centers, and neighborhood gatherings across the country.
When the digital age arrived, AARP adapted by creating online tools and resources that could be used from home or on the go. Members could access calculators to estimate retirement income, tools to compare health plans, and resources to help with job searches in later life. The organization also began producing podcasts, videos, and interactive content that explored health, entertainment, technology, and lifestyle topics tailored to people over 50. These efforts helped older adults feel more confident navigating a world that was increasingly shaped by rapid technological change.
One story often told in communities is about a woman named Margaret, who turned 62 and found herself juggling part-time work, caring for her grandson, and managing her own health challenges. At first she felt overwhelmed by the complexity of Medicare options, worried about out-of-pocket costs, and uncertain about whether she could ever fully retire. A neighbor suggested she explore AARP’s resources, and Margaret began by reading articles that explained Medicare in plain language. She used comparison tools to understand supplemental coverage and learned about discounts that could lower her monthly expenses on prescriptions and everyday purchases.
Margaret quickly discovered that AARP was more than a membership card; it was a daily companion in making decisions. She signed up for an online workshop on budgeting in retirement and joined a virtual session on managing stress for family caregivers. She also started using the organization’s job search tools, which helped her update her resume and prepare for interviews aimed at flexible, part-time roles. Through these resources, she felt better prepared to talk with financial advisors, doctors, and even her family about the choices she faced as she moved into the next stage of life.
Over time, AARP became woven into Margaret’s routine. On Sunday evenings, she would browse new articles about healthy recipes, fitness tips for people with joint pain, and the latest guidance on digital security so she could protect herself from scams. She began listening to AARP podcasts while walking in her neighborhood, enjoying interviews with experts and stories from other adults navigating similar transitions. The entertainment section, with games and nostalgic features, gave her a way to relax and connect with her grandson, who loved playing classic-style video games with her.
Through local AARP events, Margaret found a supportive community. She attended a workshop at her library on using smartphones to stay in touch with family and later joined a session on preparing for conversations about end-of-life wishes. Each event introduced her to new friends who were also caring for relatives, looking for flexible work, or planning for retirement. She appreciated that AARP recognized the complexity of modern aging: working longer, helping adult children, caring for older parents, and still wanting time for hobbies and travel.
Today, AARP continues to evolve, shaped by the experiences of members like Margaret. Its history reflects a steady commitment to advocating for financial security, health, and personal fulfillment for people over 50. From policy advocacy in Washington, DC and state capitols, to everyday tools that help individuals save money, plan ahead, and stay healthy, AARP’s role has grown along with the generations it serves. For many, it has become a trusted guide that helps turn the challenges of aging into opportunities to stay engaged, informed, and confident in daily life.
