AARP Alaska

Celebrate Alaska's First Peoples this November and throughout the year.

AARP Alaska is hosting a series of events to help older Alaskans maintain their brain health with simple health and wellness tips and tricks.

A new session for the state Legislature starts in January 2023, and AARP Alaska is looking for volunteers to speak out on behalf of those 50-plus.

Are candidates listening to voters 50+? Do they understand their concerns? We’ve heard thousands of people tell us about their day-to-day lives, sharing the stress they feel about the future. They are unable to save enough for retirement--or dipping into nest eggs to pay for everyday expenses. Many Alaskans have had to pay thousands out of pocket to care for their loved ones while juggling jobs, often without paid leave.

AARP asked U.S. Senate candidates Pat Chesbro, Lisa Murkowski and Kelly Tshibaka about health care, Social Security and other key issues.

The U.S. Senate race is a toss-up between incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Kelly Tshibaka, according to an exclusive AARP survey.

AARP asked gubernatorial candidates in Alaska to answer questions about retirement, senior services and more.

AARP asked U.S. Senate candidates in Alaska to answer questions about caregiving, Medicare, prescription drug prices and more.

Anchorage, Alaska is officially the 678th community to enroll in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities (NAFSC). An AARP Age-Friendly Community is one where a city’s elected leadership has made a commitment to actively work with residents and local advocates to make their city a safe and fulfilling place to live for people of all ages. As an NAFSC member, Anchorage is now publicly recognized for its commitment to becoming age-friendly and will receive access to resources for identifying and assessing community needs, as well as technical assistance, expert-led webinars, and connections to a national network of over 670 enrolled communities. The AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities is part of AARP’s larger livable communities work that focuses on hands-on, locally determined and directed initiatives. The common thread among the enrolled communities is the belief that the places where we live are better able to support people of all ages when local leaders commit to improving the quality of life for the very young, the very old, and everyone in between.
