Hear from Members about the benefits of the Villages
In September 2023, the UC Berkeley Retirement Center hosted a virtual panel discussion about the Village Movement and the benefits to retirees.
A village is a membership organization that connects older adults to the community, programming, and expertise they need to continue living lives of purpose and promise. These innovative, community-based solutions improve quality of life and expand choices at all stages of aging, empowering older adults to sustain independence and remain in charge of their lives as they age.
Villages are founded by members of the community, and each village develops an organizational structure and offerings based on the needs of that community. For some villages, this means providing a full suite of events and services through staff or volunteers, while others may provide mostly referrals. Every village recognizes the power of personal connection in helping members remain active and engaged.
