Village networks are member-run nonprofits, usually organized by neighborhood, connecting older adults with volunteers and each other.
What they typically offer
- Volunteer-provided rides, small home tasks, and technology help
- Regular social events and interest groups
- A built-in community of neighbors in a similar life stage
Finding one
Search "village to village network" plus your city or county — there are several hundred across the U.S., with dues typically kept intentionally low.
Attend one event before joining formally — most villages welcome visitors to get a feel for the group first.
