AARP Iowa

Motorists can sharpen their skills and possibly earn a discount on car insurance by taking an AARP Driver Safety class. You can take the Smart Driver course in a classroom or online to learn current rules of the road, such as how to navigate roundabouts, as well as defensive driving techniques, such as how to manage common age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

AARP Iowa today announced it is bringing CAREversations – an interactive, engaging family caregiving event, to Des Moines.

From January to June 2016, AARP Iowa has proudly supported the monthly community education and outreach series, Embrace Aging.

Refresh your safety awareness skills and attend a TRIAD-sponsored seminar in your area this summer.

AARP Iowa is teaming up with Habitat for Humanity to create a better community. The two programs, Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity's A Brush with Kindness, and the Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity's Rock the Block!® work to revitalize neighborhoods while making homes safer, more affordable and accessible.

Summer is here, and it's hot!

All Iowa members are invited to join AARP for member nights at the I-Cubs and the Cedar Rapids Kernels this July. Take advantage of a discount on tickets, and stop by the AARP table to learn more about member events in your community as well receive a special member offer at each ballpark.

This week, AARP Iowa volunteers and staff were in Washington, D.C. with a contingent of AARP leaders and members from across the county to advocate on behalf of AARP members and all older Americans on the crucial issues of Family Caregiving and Social Security.
