AARP Idaho
A voice and advocate working to protect and improve the lives of the 50 plus population in the Gem State.
To commemorate this milestone, AARP Idaho is inviting AARP members and invited guests to join us August 6 for an evening at Zoo Boise. You’ll receive 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!

AARP CEO Myechia Minter-Jordan issued the following statement in response to the Social Security and Medicare Trustees’ reports released today:
Continuing its longstanding commitment to honor veterans, military and their families, AARP Idaho is sharing career tools that are especially designed for older veterans and military personnel. The Gem State is home to some 122,000 vets, according to the latest data from the National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics, part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
AARP Idaho is seeking sensible solutions to encourage more employees to save for their future.
Staffing continues to be an issue for Idaho nursing homes
Local experts from around Idaho will describe current scams taking place and how to stay protected.
AARP Idaho announced a new initiative to enlist poll workers of all ages this November, working in collaboration with the Association of Young Americans (AYA), Power the Polls, and New Leaders Council (NLC). The groups aim to enlist more poll workers to ensure that in-person voting is still an accessible and safe option this fall.
In addition to the three original recipients, AARP Idaho has announced another three Gem State organizations will receive 2020 Community Challenge grants. Grantees will implement “quick-action” projects to create more livable communities across Idaho. To date AARP Idaho has awarded more than $63,000 across the state to help make communities more livable for people of all ages.
AARP Idaho has selected Gini Woodward of Bonners Ferry to receive the 2020 Andrus Award for Community Service. This represents the Association’s most prestigious and visible state volunteer award for community service. The award is a symbol of the power of individuals to make a difference in the lives of others and at the heart of everything AARP does.
AARP Idaho is urging state legislators to oppose legislative draft RS28049, a proposal that would grant immunity to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Three Idaho organizations will receive 2020 Community Challenge grants – part of the largest number of grantees to date with more than $2.4 million awarded among 184 organizations nationwide. Grantees will implement “quick-action” projects to create more livable communities across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
