AARP is a nonprofit social welfare group dedicated to improving the quality of life for everyone as they age, including its 38 million nationwide members. Through their numerous volunteer, outreach, and community efforts, AARP is able to help strengthen communities and help individuals turn their dreams and goals into reality. The organization is also constantly championing the issues that matter most to families, such as income security, healthcare, employment, and protection from financial abuse.

Members' views shape AARP's decisions about everything from advocacy positions and volunteer opportunities to developing new online health tools, and there are many ways to be a part of that process. AARP continuously hosts and attends all kinds of special events on Long Island, including educational workshops and fun family outings.

Of course, being an AARP member provides more than just volunteer opportunities and outing to attend. AARP membership comes with discounts at all manner of businesses–including restaurants, pharmacies, and hotels–as well as assistance with numerous medical needs. Members also gain tools to help them plan their financial futures, enjoy getaways and vacations, and fulfill their automotive needs.
