While the recent announcement of a 2.8% cost-of-living (COLA) adjustment for Social Security is great news for all Wisconsinites on the program, we know that more can be done to help our state’s residents age with dignity, purpose, and financial security during these difficult economic times.
At AARP Wisconsin, we believe that everyone should have the power to choose how they live as they age. That belief drives our work, and it’s also why we’re inviting you to join us as a volunteer. Whether you have five minutes or five hours a month, there’s a place for you in our growing network of changemakers across the state.
