AARP Kansas

Join AARP Kansas each week on Monday's at noon for the Sunflower Scoop. Every week, we showcase an AARP Kansas volunteer talking about a particular topic he or she has expertise in or demonstrating a "how to" tip. Each video is less than five minutes long. So far we've learned how to scoop out a pumpkin for pumpkin pie, how to write a blog, what to do with outdoor plants during winter months, and how to draw an eyeball. There's something for everyone. And there's so much more to come. Check it out on Facebook.com/aarpks. Or, you can watch on our YouTube channel.

AARP is working to develop a retirement savings program for people who don’t have access to one through their employer.

AARP recognizes and values the spirit of volunteerism and the important contributions volunteers make to their state and communities. We couldn't do our work without them. Volunteers provide extraordinary service each day to improve the quality of life for Kansans.
