With a nationwide presence, AARP strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to the more than 100 million Americans 50-plus and their families: health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment. It offers many resources, programs, and publications for older adults.
Since 1954, ASA has developed and led the largest, most diverse community of professionals working in aging in America. As a result, ASA has become the go-to source to cultivate leadership, advance knowledge and strengthen the skills of our members and others who work with and on behalf of older adults. Insightful, timely and widely respected, ASA's publications are a premier resource for thousands of professionals in the field of aging.
AmeriCorps is the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps provides opportunities for Americans of all backgrounds to serve their country, address the nation’s most pressing challenges, and improve lives and communities. AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers serve directly with nonprofit organizations to tackle our nation’s most pressing challenges.
Justice in Aging offers assistance to legal offices and private lawyers working on behalf of low-income older and disabled people. This national legal advocacy organization does not accept individual clients but acts as a clearinghouse of information on legal problems such as age discrimination, Social Security, pension plans, Medicaid, Medicare, nursing homes and protective services.
The National Council on the Aging was the first national voice for older adults. They helped end mandatory retirement and advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to them for support as they served older adults every day. NCOA members include senior centers, adult day service centers, senior housing, congregate-meal sites, faith congregations and area agencies on aging.
