Chances are, if you aren’t a family caregiver, you know someone who is. Every day, more than 820,000 Washingtonians help their parents, spouses, siblings, grandparents, neighbors and other loved ones to live independently at home – where they want to be.
The value of volunteering cannot be overstated. Volunteering is a selfless act that benefits those individuals whose lives are touched either directly or often unknowingly, as in the case of our advocacy volunteers who are helping to create better policies and systems at all levels. At AARP WA, we are fortunate to have a growing cadre of committed volunteers who play various and sometimes multiple roles to improve the lives of the 50+ population here in Washington. As we come to the close of 2023, we wanted to reflect on the contributions of AARP WA’s volunteers and highlights of the year.
The AARP Community Challenge grants fund quick-turnaround projects that increase community livability and spur long-term progress. This year, Washington State groups won funding for a wide array of projects—from an ADU design competition to a free transit service for older adults.
Washington's "Caring for Caregivers" video podcast series features discussions with local experts, community leaders, and caregivers just like you on a range of topics to help you along your caregiving journey.
AARP Washington is proud to introduce our 2023 State Executive Council. The all-volunteer Executive Council helps guide AARP's activities on behalf of nearly 900,000 members in the state, and provides leadership in long-range planning to help meet the needs of Washington state’s older adults and their families.
Last year, approximately 1 in 4 Washingtonians age 45 and over provided care to an adult relative or friend, according to an AARP survey.
AARP Washington is urging eligible residents across the state to sign up for high-speed internet discounts available under the federal Affordable Connectivity Program.
