About AARP

AARP is on a mission to make communities more livable for people of all ages, and the results can be seen in three localities.

Nearly 1 in 10 Arkansas adults are veterans, and AARP Arkansas is hard at work looking out for them.

AARP Arkansas Speakers Bureau has volunteers ready to present a variety of topics to community organizations, civic groups and churches.

The state population is aging, and AARP Arkansas wants everyone to know that’s great for the state’s economy.

AARP works in communities across the state to ensure that Arkansans have choice, control, and independence through every stage of their lives. We invite you to learn more about what we are doing in the Little Rock area and how you can get involved at a volunteer informational event on Thursday, May 3.

Caregiving, financial security, health care—Arkansans 50-plus face multiple challenges. That’s why AARP Arkansas has expanded its list of topics for group presentations. Civic clubs, church groups, AARP chapters and other organizations can book a free presentation on Medicare, Social Security or caregiving, as well as the ever-popular Fraud Watch Network workshops.
