When Fia flipped through her local paper and saw a mug-making workshop, something clicked. ‘I want to do that,’ she thought—and that simple decision changed everything.

Join us by phone or on Facebook on Thursday, January 15 at 10:00 am for a conversation about mature workers and how they can use local resources to learn new skills, re-enter the workforce, or find jobs consistent with their interests and abilities. We’ll discuss career tips, job-search tools, and professional resources that every experienced worker can use to sharpen their skills or get hired. AARP knows that people are living and working longer, and experienced workers bring expertise, maturity, and perspective. Experienced workers should have a level playing field in their ability to compete for, obtain, and retain jobs, so we have invited Associates for Training and Development, or A4TD, to join us on our call.

AARP Vermont in 2026 will advocate for a tax credit for the state’s 70,000 family caregivers, as well as focus on cryptocurrency kiosk-related fraud to see whether lawmakers extend a moratorium on new crypto ATMs.
Join AARP members and others for a discussion of the new composting regs and community gardening as it happens down at the Burlington Intervale. Presenters Ron Krupp and Fred Schmidt garden together at the Tommy Thompson Community Garden located in the Intervale. Both are lifelong gardeners: Ron's written several books on gardening and will be glad to share and answer questions. Fred began serious gardening in 1963 as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching agricultural diversification on a rubber plantation in Malaysia. They have volunteer as garden site coordinators at the Intervale for many years.

On June 4, AARP Vermont presented a webinar on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and how to navigate the regulatory hurdles and other challenges to plan and develop this form of housing. The webinar covered ADU benefits, shared architectural design ideas, the latest zoning regulations, and the steps required to get an ADU permitted and built in Burlington. The event was well attended.

Unfortunately, due to social distancing restrictions, the sailing trips for our members in July have been cancelled. AARP Vermont hopes to reschedule events like these as restrictions change, but nothing can be set at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment this causes.
Due to concerns for the safety and our members and staff in light of the pandemic, we have cancelled the scheduled shredding events in Colchester (May 12) and Brattleboro (May 19). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are committed to reschedule the service for later this year when it becomes safe to do so. Please stay tuned for more information on this event and others as the year progresses and social distancing restrictions are adjusted. Thank you for your understanding.
