The AARP is a powerful nonpartisan lobby that advocates for its members. It takes formal positions on Social Security, Medicare, health care reform, retirement investing and other issues. The AARP also acts as a watchdog group, monitoring legislation and other congressional issues. The AARP keeps its members informed about issues important to senior citizens, gathering support for rallies, demonstrations and discussions. Community Service
Part of the AARP's mission is to provide help to those in need. The AARP Foundation uses grant money, contributions from its members and fundraising profits to provide job-search assistance to unemployed seniors, job training and scholarships to women aged 40 and above. It also provides free tax filing assistance or money management assistance to qualified applicants. Additionally, the AARP Foundation provides legal services, healthcare screenings and other services to seniors. 00:00
