“To serve, not to be served.”
Ethel Percy Andrus (1884-1967), the founder of AARP
Founded in 1958, American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization.
AARP, with over 38 million members, empowers those aged 50 and above, offering them autonomy and choices beneficial to both individuals and society. They maintain political neutrality, avoiding endorsements and campaign contributions. Offer a range of services from advocating for the elderly in the government, providing information on health and wellness, offering discounts, and providing resources for caregivers. As a trusted source for news and information, AARP produces the nation’s largest circulation publications, AARP The Magazine, and AARP Bulletin.
In 1963, Dr. Andrus broadened AARP’s global footprint by creating the Association of Retired Persons International (ARPI).
