AARP is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025. For nine decades, Social Security has been a stable and reliable foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans—and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come.
April is National Volunteer Month and provides the perfect opportunity for staff at AARP Kansas to thank our volunteers all across the state who dedicate their time and talents to make a positive impact on the lives of Kansans, particularly those age 50 and older. Volunteers are a critical resource for AARP and the work we do whether it be through advocacy or community outreach.
We know that it takes time to build great communities. But, we also believe that tangible improvements can spark long-term change. AARP launched the Community Challenge in 2017 to fund projects that build momentum to improve livability nationwide. We are excited to announce the program is back in 2022 for its sixth year and is currently accepting applications online through March 22, 5:00 p.m. ET.
