Today, hundreds of AARP volunteers and staff from all 50 states are descending on Capitol Hill with one powerful message for lawmakers: protect what matters most to older Americans.
$76,000 in grants aims to help residents of all ages, especially older adults, improve how they live, move, and stay connected in their neighborhoods through innovative local projects
To commemorate this milestone, AARP Idaho is inviting you, your family and friends to join us August 6 for a private evening at Zoo Boise. You’ll receive free admission to the zoo while enjoying complimentary ice cream, refreshments and shaded pavilions. Ride the carousel, feed the goats, we’ll even have face painting for the kids (or adults). It’s an entirely new way to enjoy the zoo and an evening the whole family will enjoy!

Meetings on Zoom have become a popular way to communicate with family, friends and colleagues without in-person interaction. AARP Idaho is offering free training classes on the platform for those seeking to learn more so they can maintain the social connections that are so crucial to good health and a positive outlook.
AARP Idaho is inviting community organizations and local governments across the state to apply for the 2021 Community Challenge grant program, now through April 14. Grants fund quick-action projects that can range from several hundred dollars for small, short-term activities to several thousand or tens of thousands for larger projects. Now in its fifth year, the grant program is part of AARP’s nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for people of all ages.
As coronavirus vaccine distribution continues in Idaho and more people become eligible to receive the vaccine, Governor Little has asked that we share this message with those 65+ and others impacted by the pandemic.
On behalf of AARP Idaho and our more than 185,000 members across the state, I would like to applaud Governor Little’s leadership during this most difficult time and to address some of the administration’s priorities outlined in the 2021 State of the State address.
