Creating real possibilities
​
-
Enhancing the quality of life for all as we age — not just serving our members — is our mission. At its heart, the work that AARP and its affiliates do can be summed up in these words:
“We fight for and equip each individual to live his best life.”
It’s all about real possibilities.

Listening to you on a national level
Input from AARP's diverse membership shapes everything we do as an organization. Feedback comes from surveys, public opinion polls, phone calls, emails, social media, face-to-face conversations with volunteer leaders and staff, letters to the editors of our publications, and more. Members' views shape our decisions, from advocacy positions to volunteer opportunities to new online health tools.
