When you think of AARP in Connecticut, do you think gourmet cooking, movie premieres, perennial gardens, Beluga whales and Bengal tigers? You should.
Do you think about tools and resources that can help you start or grow your small business, navigate career changes, take charge of your finances and provide easy steps to planning a healthy and secure future? They’ve got that.
How about help to keep you and your family safe from scams, navigate the complexities of caring for an aging loved one and prepare your home and community to be one in which you can live as your needs change? That’s them too.
Do you think about volunteering your time and talents to make a difference in your community? AARP Connecticut volunteer opportunities can help shake things up in the land of steady habits by fighting at the State Capitol for consumer protections, affordable utilities and options that help you live independently in your own home. What they do might surprise you.
AARP believes age and experience expand a person’s possibilities. Through local lifestyle discounts, learning opportunities, community service and advocacy, AARP Connecticut is there to help you discover your “what’s next!”
