AARP Arizona empowers women to strive for greatness and create impactful change in their community.

During April and the celebration of Women’s History Month, it’s important to note that at the core of AARP’s foundation is the inspiring story of Ethel Percy Andrus. She was a pioneering woman whose mission to empower older adults and champion their rights created a legacy that extends far beyond her time. Ethel's unwavering passion continues to live on through dedicated women who serve and volunteer at AARP Arizona, spreading warmth, compassion, and hope.

Did you know that AARP has at least one office in every state? As a volunteer with your local AARP Arizona team, you may provide education, advocacy or other services to address community needs and help people 50-plus live their best lives — and you’ll work side by side with our dedicated staff and other volunteers!

AARP Arizona’s top legislative priority this year is pushing for improvements to the state’s long-term care system. AARP is looking for volunteers to help advocate at the Legislature, as well as for Arizonans willing to share their experiences with the state’s nursing homes and assisted-living facilities.
