AARP Eye Center
Here at AARP, we’re millions of members strong–with more joining us every day– the largest and “most powerful grassroots organization” around, according to Fortune magazine. In fact, our commitment and collective strength enables us to serve and support a broad and diverse membership as well as embrace our own workplace diversity. Here’s your chance to take action in Washington, DC and throughout the US!
With a network of 53 offices in each state, the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, we live where we work. This allows us to do what we do best…meet the people and directly engage in our communities to find out what they need and want, enabling us to educate our members with programs and information that is relevant to them.
AARP's vision is for a society in which all people live with dignity and purpose, and fulfill their goals and dreams. AARP in Delaware enhances the quality of life for all as we age, including our 180,000 members. We champion positive social change and deliver value through advocacy, information and service. The AARP Motto is "To serve, not to be served."
