Whether the role comes suddenly or gradually, caregiving can present significant challenges. AARP Oregon is hosting several training and educational events in June to help caregivers find resources and connect with one another.

This election cycle AARP is shining a light on Social Security and Family Caregiving, two critical issues important to our members and all Americans 50+.

The three-part series is designed to support communities at every stage of the cycle process, whether you are launching, assessing, creating an action plan, moving toward implementation, or just getting un-stuck.

From the North to the South, East to West, join us for our 11th and final season of NeighborWalks.

Whether you’re a teenager or older adult, having a way to get where you are going safely and easily is one of the best ways to maintain independence. AARP Driver Safety offers multiple programs to help millions of people stay safe on the road – whether it’s as a driver or as a passenger. These programs are available for anyone but are designed specifically for those age 50 and older, to help them refresh their driving skills, learn about new vehicle technology, and monitor their driving behavior.

AARP Oregon advocates for what is important to our members and older Oregonians. With the help of our legislative advocate volunteers, AARP members, staff leadership, and in concert with our partners, we worked tirelessly to advocate on a broad range of issues to improve the lives of older Oregonians and their families.

A recent AARP Oregon survey of voters aged 40-plus found 55 percent have seen or experienced age discrimination at work; of those respondents, 88 percent think it’s common. Such findings are motivating AARP Oregon to push legislation to strengthen the state’s workplace age discrimination law.
