Mission Statement

Ashby Village is a vibrant East Bay nonprofit organization that connects older adults with each other and resources to age well in the places they call home and to engage in their communities. We’re committed to building an inclusive organization and culture that advances access to practical services and social and cultural programs for older adults from all backgrounds and economic means. We’re aging together with dignity, purpose, and self-determination in the diverse, multi-generational communities we cherish.

Description

Volunteers are essential to our village community! Ashby Village volunteers support a broad range of social and cultural activities built by and for members, and they assist members with practical services such as rides to doctor appointments, friendly visits, technology assistance, and grocery shopping.

• Being a part of something bigger than themselves,
• Staying active - physically, mentally and socially, and
• Connecting with others and feeling part of community
