About AARP

For more than 60 years, AARP has been a 'wise friend' and 'fierce defender' helping individuals to ensure that their money, health, and happiness live as long as they do. 

AARP Indiana works hard to improve the lives of Hoosiers and empower people to live how they choose as they age.

AARP is proud to highlight our founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, and to honor her legacy during Women’s History Month.

Update: AARP Indiana has extended its nomination period for the Andrus Award to August 16, 2019. Nomination forms can be found here.
