AARP Skills Builder

Senior Centers & Social · Alabama · Free

Online courses and tools to help adults 50+ learn new skills. Worth contacting for any senior who wants to learn something new — language, technology, art, history, dance — at low or no cost. Volunteer programs (AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP, Foster Grandparent, Senior Companion) include modest stipends in some cases. Social isolation has the health impact of smoking 15 cigarettes a day — these aren't optional add-ons, they're medicine. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
