AARP Florida is making a difference where you live.
Even as some of you are hearing the last notes of the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” we at AARP Florida are about to embark on “The Busiest Time of the Year”, the Florida legislative session. Advocacy is a core part of AARP’s mission, and at the state level, the legislative session is a rich if frenetic opportunity to advocate on a wide range of issues on behalf of Floridians ages 50 and over.
The award – our organization’s most prestigious – honors individuals aged 50 and older for exceptional volunteer service and community impact.

Florida has 1.4 million veterans, and about half of them are 65 or older. AARP offers resources on fraud prevention, caregiving and support, Veterans Affairs benefits and more.
