AARP has free online presentations for seniors this week, with topics like caregiving, end of life planning, cooking and more.
Several times a week, AARP sponsors free classes that you can stream to your computer or smartphone. Each lecture is presented by an expert and is followed by a live Q&A where you can ask questions.
These events are FREE to everyone (AARP membership not required) but you must register in advance to attend. The schedule for some of the top free Virtual Lectures is below.
