Mission: As part of the nationwide village movement, marin villages recognizes the need to offer older adults an alternative when deciding how and where they would like to age and provide opportunities for them to remain socially engaged.
Programs: Our local villages provide a variety of programs allowing members to stay engaged, meet neighbors and participate in life-enriching events. In addition, we look at the needs of members and build a volunteer infrastructure to help meet these needs, including rides to doctor appointments, pet sitting, and household and computer help. Marin villages seeks to address the service gap that many of our seniors face. We are a volunteer-driven membership organization which strives to help seniors age in place safely, confidently and independently. Our organization is a collaboration of local villages and a central office, which supports and enables growth of local villages. There are 175-190 service requests each month.
