Vision: AARP visualizes a society in which everyone ages with dignity and purpose and in which AARP helps people fulfill their goals and dreams.
Mission: AARP is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all as we age. We lead positive social change and deliver value to members through information, advocacy and service.
Description:
AARP is a not-for-profit membership organization of persons 50 and older dedicated to addressing their needs and interests. Through information and education, advocacy and service, we seek to enhance the quality of life for all by promoting independence, dignity and purpose. The AARP Kansas office is the local contact for Kansas residents.
History:
AARP was founded in 1958 by a retired California educator, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus. Today AARP represents more than 35 million members - over half of those are still working full- or part-time. Approximately one-third of our members are under 60 while about 46% are 60 to 74 years of age and 21% are 75 or older.
AARP Kansas had an unadvertised Business Center in Kansas for several years, which served as a focal point for state activities. Our State Office opened in Topeka in October 2001.
