As 2025 draws to a close, AARP Virgin Islands proudly celebrates a year of meaningful advocacy, delivering strong protection and support for older adults and their families.

“We need to ensure that our aging population can live their remaining years safely and with dignity,” said Troy De Chabert-Schuster, State Director, AARP VI. “This year’s legislative victories reflect our commitment to improving quality of life for older Virgin Islanders.”
