Our monthly Friday Jam Sessions are back! Enjoy some music making while learning about the six pillars of brain health with the Alzheimer's Association and certified music therapists from Resounding Joy. They'll share practices to help you explore the ties between music and brain health and ways you can use music to enhance your daily life and well-being. You do not need an instrument or any prior music experience to participate. Join us for both in-person and virtual events!

When 12-year-old Dagny created a school video about her grandfather’s service in Vietnam, she had no idea it would lead to a life-changing trip to the nation’s capital—thanks to AARP Wyoming.

Tiffany Jeffers is originally from Baltimore, but in Florida, she’s recognized as the unapologetic heartbeat of the Black community in Osceola County. Her organization, the Black Empowerment & Community Council (BECC), founded in 2024, has quickly cemented itself into the fabric of Central Florida—and we're proud to share that BECC is one of just 10 recipients of AARP Florida’s 2025 Community Challenge grant. In a short time, the organization has made a powerful impact by connecting, uplifting, and advocating for the local community.

The 8 Domains of Livability framework is used by many of the towns, cities, counties and states enrolled in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities to organize and prioritize their work to become more livable for both older residents and people of all ages.
