AARP New York volunteers are a dynamic group of people using skills they’ve cultivated. They work to improve the lives of fellow New Yorkers — and not just folks age 50 and older. They may attend a hip hop concert and hand out fliers about Medicare. They might lend a hand at food drives around Thanksgiving. Or they may travel to Albany to make sure the governor and state legislators are aware of vital issues, like caregiving support and unaffordable prescription drug prices. Whether you love meeting new people, working on projects that matter to your community, or speaking up on issues that impact people 50 and older, AARP has a role for you.

AARPNY is proud to observe National Veterans and Military Families Month with free seminars, events and resources that include: Family Caregiving, Work/Jobs & Re-Careering, and Fighting Fraud. AARP stands with its NY veteran members, non-members, allies, and partner organizations year-round. AARP's commitment to the Veterans, Military, and Families reflects our core belief in every individual's dignity, worth and potential.

November is Family Caregiving Month and Military Family Month. As a family caregiver, you may be responsible for managing and administering lots of medication. If you have medications in your home that are no longer needed or expired, AARP Long Island encourages you to dispose of them safely this November.
