AARP Mississippi is recruiting and training volunteers to communicate with state and federal lawmakers on issues important to state residents age 50-plus. On the state level, key issues include rebalancing Medicaid long-term care funding to allow more Mississippians to receive services that can help them remain in their own homes and communities as they age. Federal issues include reining in prescription drug costs and protecting Medicare through meaningful health care reform.

Volunteer trainings will be held in each Congressional district in October. Anyone interested in volunteering should call 1-866-554-5382 toll free by October 9 to request an application.
