Staying Fit
Do you have a strong opinion on the future of Social Security? Are you a caregiver who wants to connect with others who are helping out an elderly mom or dad? Do you do volunteer work that you'd like to discuss with like-minded peers?

AARP Membership— $12 for your first year when you sign up for Automatic Renewal
Get instant access to members-only products and hundreds of discounts, a free second membership, and a subscription to AARP the Magazine.
Now you have a new outlet: AARP.org has just re-launched its message boards, where you'll be able to share your thoughts, ask your questions and voice your opinions on just about anything from mah-jongg strategies to Medicare.
How to Get Started
- You must be a registered user to participate. Sign up here.
- When you're signed in, look for the Community tab (highlighted in red) at the top of the screen. It's located between the My Account and Help tabs.
- Click on that and move your cursor down to the Message Boards option.
- Pick a topic that interests you, and the floor is yours.
Here are a few things you should know:
- Keep on top of what's being discussed with the Subscribe feature. Every time someone posts a new comment in your conversation, you'll get an email letting you know. Once the discussion has run its course, you can unsubscribe and the notifications will stop.
- Keep in mind that each post is public. Don't say anything that you wouldn't want the world to hear. Be respectful of others, even if you disagree with their opinions.
- If you find abusive or offensive material, keep in mind that each piece of content — posts, photos, comments, video — contains a Report Abuse link that will notify AARP. The moderation team will review the flagged content and determine if it should be removed.
- You can always visit the Frequently Asked Questions section for more tips.
Now you're ready to engage and meet new people. Have fun!
