AARP is a 39-million member nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization that helps people age 50 and older have independence, choice and control in ways that are beneficial and affordable to them and society as a whole. AARP does not endorse candidates for public office or make contributions to either political campaigns or candidates. We produce AARP The Magazine, published bimonthly; AARP Bulletin, our monthly newspaper; AARP Segunda Juventud, our bimonthly magazine in Spanish and English; NRTA Live & Learn, our quarterly newsletter for 50+ educators; and our website, AARP.org. AARP Foundation is an affiliated charity that provides security, protection, and empowerment to older persons in need with support from thousands of volunteers, donors, and sponsors.

Through our international program, we help people live longer, healthier, more financially secure and productive lives by identifying and sharing the best ideas and practices on key social and economic issues. We convene a wide range of experts from around the world, including policy makers, to share their knowledge on health and long-term care, livable communities, employment and older workers, financial security, and retirement income. AARP fosters this global dialogue and, in the end, acts as social collaborator and catalyst to governments, businesses, and decision makers in all sectors to help address and favorably shape the social and economic implications of aging worldwide.
