<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
AARP traces its origins back to the late 1950s, when educator Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus recognized that older Americans needed a unified voice and practical resources to navigate retirement, health care, and changing social roles. She had already
founded the National Retired Teachers Association, but soon saw that the issues facing retired teachers were shared by millions of people across the country. From that insight, AARP was formed as a broader organization dedicated to empowering people
as they age, with a mission rooted in dignity, independence, and collective action.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
In its early years, AARP focused heavily on access to affordable health coverage, because older adults often found themselves excluded from traditional insurance markets. The organization helped pioneer group insurance products that were tailor
ed for people in or near retirement, negotiating on behalf of its members to secure coverage that was previously out of reach. This focus on practical, tangible benefits quickly drew attention and membership, and AARP evolved from a small advocacy gr
oup into a national presence with a reputation for reliability and consumer focus.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
Over time, AARP broadened its work beyond insurance and health care, recognizing that aging touches every part of life, from work and finances to social connection and civic participation. The organization invested in research, publishing, and
educational initiatives that helped people understand retirement planning, Social Security, and Medicare. It became known for its magazine and bulletins, which reached tens of millions of households and offered a blend of news, personal finance guida
nce, health tips, and stories that reflected the experiences of older adults across the country.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
As the generations changed, AARP adapted as well, updating its programs to reflect new expectations about work, lifestyle, and longevity. It emphasized that life after 50 could include new careers, entrepreneurial ventures, and active engagemen
t in communities. Educational workshops and online tools were developed to help members refresh their skills, reenter the workforce, or transition into flexible roles. The organization’s advocacy efforts continued in parallel, shaping debates on re
tirement security, prescription drug costs, caregiving, and protections against discrimination based on age.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
AARP’s history is also a story of technology and communication. From print newsletters to robust digital platforms, the organization has consistently sought to meet people where they are. Its websites, online calculators, and virtual events b
ecame important tools for members who wanted to compare Medicare options, estimate retirement income, or learn how to use emerging technologies. This digital evolution allowed AARP to serve people in urban and rural communities alike, ensuring that g
eography did not limit access to information and support.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
Within that broader history, the impact of AARP can be seen clearly in the life of someone like Margaret, a 67-year-old former librarian who lives in a mid-sized town. Each morning, after making coffee, she sits at her kitchen table and opens h
er laptop, where one of her first stops is the AARP website. She checks the latest articles on healthy aging, reads a brief piece on stretching exercises, and then logs into a webinar about managing retirement withdrawals so that her savings can last
through a longer life than her parents ever imagined. For her, these resources have become a steady companion in navigating everyday decisions.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
Margaret also makes use of the member discounts that have become a signature part of AARP’s offerings. On Wednesdays, she meets a small group of friends for lunch at a nearby café where her membership card earns her a modest discount. Afterw
ard, she stops by the pharmacy to refill a prescription, using information she first learned through an AARP article about comparing medication prices. When she needed new glasses last year, she turned to the organization’s guidance on eye care sav
ings, which helped her find a provider that fit both her budget and her preferences.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
In the afternoons, Margaret sometimes joins online workshops hosted through AARP’s community programs. One session taught her how to use video calling more confidently, allowing her to stay in closer touch with her grandchildren who live seve
ral states away. Another workshop introduced her to online job platforms, and she eventually found a part-time remote position indexing local historical documents. This new role not only supplements her income but also draws on her love of books and
archives, reinforcing her sense of purpose and connection to her community’s past.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#000000;">
Margaret also keeps an eye on AARP’s advocacy alerts, which explain how proposed changes in law or policy might affect Social Security, Medicare, or protections for older workers. She occasionally writes to her elected officials using tools t
he organization provides, feeling that her voice is part of a larger chorus. This engagement gives her confidence that she is not facing the challenges of aging alone; instead, she is part of a nationwide network that shares information, speaks up co
llectively, and works to make communities more livable for people of all ages.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:18px; margin:0; color:#000000;">
Through stories like Margaret’s, the long history of AARP becomes visible in daily routines: the article that clarifies a confusing benefit, the discount that stretches a fixed income a bit further, the online class that opens up a new skill,
and the advocacy update that turns concern into constructive action. From its founding to the present day, the organization’s evolution has been guided by the same underlying idea—that aging should come with opportunities, support, and respect,
and that informed, connected individuals can shape a better future for themselves and for the generations that follow.
