Do you have an idea to make your community an even better place to live? Now's your chance to make it happen because the 2025 AARP Community Challenge Grant program is now open.
A group of AARP South Dakota volunteers will head to Pierre next week, and we'll be hosting two events where they will be able to talk with state lawmakers.
When it comes to aging, South Dakotans are concerned about their Social Security benefits, as well as having enough income or savings to retire and being able to afford groceries or other household necessities.
In the early 1900s, the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma, now called "Black Wall Street," was a vibrant and prosperous community. Despite the challenges and racial injustices they faced, residents of this community built a thriving neighborhood filled with successful Black-owned businesses, attorneys, doctors, and real estate agents. Their achievements were nothing short of remarkable and served as a beacon of hope for Black Americans nationwide.

Embrace the outdoors and an active lifestyle by joining the third annual 605K Challenge—named for the state’s lone area code and for the approximate distance across the state in kilometers from east to west.
