Advocating for what is important to our members and giving you a voice at the state and federal levels is a priority for AARP Minnesota. Your voice matters. We work with local organizations and town and city officials on making our communities more livable and greater places to age with dignity and purpose.
AARP is sending a clear message that Social Security must be protected. We’re taking action to ensure that all older Americans can safely access the benefits they have earned and get questions answered in the ways that are best for them.
During the Minnesota State Fair, AARP MN partnered with MyTalk 107 to celebrate the people and nonprofit organizations that do amazing work in Minnesota. Community members could enter for a chance to win $1,000 for themselves, and $1,000 plus a free radio campaign on MyTalk 107 to their favorite Minnesota nonprofit. Nearly 2,000 people entered the sweepstakes and we are excited to announce that Ziggy’s Art Bus was chosen as our nonprofit winner!
Cathy McLeer has been appointed as the new AARP Minnesota State Director. She will lead the Minnesota staff and volunteers who are working to improve the health, finances and well-being of 664,000 of members in the state.
Minnesota is more than just lakes, hockey, and Prince. The state is at the center of a national conversation around reshaping public safety. It’s known for high educational outcomes and strong voter turnout, but also for deep racial disparities. Whatever the issue, Minnesotans of all ages stay engaged in their communities. We’re ranked fifth in the nation for volunteerism with 41% of residents 16+ having volunteered in the last year (2019, MN Compass).
Join us for a virtual panel discussion with legislative leaders who are championing AARP endorsed policies that can help advance racial equity for older Minnesotans.
Communities across Minnesota are working to become more livable for residents of all ages. AARP is working across Minnesota in partnership with local leaders, organization, and dedicated residents to help make that vision a reality.
Give your time and talent — in person or from home — to improve the lives of older Americans and their families. We are looking for volunteers across Minnesota to make a difference in your community.
