Building great communities takes time – but small, tangible improvements can spark lasting change. That’s the idea behind the AARP Community Challenge, a grant program launched in 2017 to support quick-action projects that enhance livability nationwide.
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. Through strategic collaboration with lawmakers and community partners, AARP VI advanced key legislation that enhances safety, health, and caregiving across the territory.
“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.”
We’re thrilled to announce that AARP VI is back for the highly anticipated 27th Annual Bordeaux Farmers Agricultural & Cultural Vegan Food Fair, taking place on January 17-18, 2026! This year marks our fourth consecutive year proudly supporting Virgin Islands farmers, championing food security, and promoting sustainable living throughout our beautiful territory. This year's theme, “In Agriculture, Many Problems to Fix—Support VI Farmers 2026,” underscores the crucial role local agriculture plays in empowering our islands and securing a vibrant future for all generations.
