About AARP:

Founded in 1958, AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization that helps people 50 and over improve the quality of their lives.

AARP has grown to 40 million members and has offices in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

As the nation’s largest membership organization for people 50+, AARP is leading a revolution in the way people view and live life after 50.

Vision, Mission, Motto

For more than 50 years, AARP has been serving its members and creating positive social change.

AARP’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for all as we age, leading positive social change and delivering value to members through information, advocacy and service.

We believe strongly in the principles of collective purpose, collective voice, and collective purchasing power, and these principles guide all organization efforts.

AARP works tirelessly to fulfill its vision: a society in which everyone ages with dignity and purpose, and in which AARP helps people fulfill their goals and dreams.

AARP speaks with one voice – united by a common motto: “To serve, not be served.”
